Peru Prime Minister Resigns Amidst Cabinet Reshuffle
Peru's Prime Minister, who is like the second-in-command, had to quit his job.
This happened because some important people in the government were changed, and other leaders in the country were not happy about it.
The people who make the laws wanted him to leave.
The President tried to make things better by switching around who was in charge, but it didn't work.
Business leaders were worried because the government changed the person in charge of money quickly.
Now, the President has to find a new leader to run the country.
Peru's Prime Minister, Gustavo Adrianzen, resigned on Tuesday evening.
The resignation followed a cabinet reshuffle that did not appease opposition lawmakers.
Opposition lawmakers were planning a vote of no confidence against Adrianzen.
President Dina Boluarte's approval rating is at a record low of 2%.
Raul Perez-Reyes was appointed as the new finance chief.
