Peruvian lawmakers on Friday confirmed a new leftist Cabinet nominated by President Pedro Castillo, giving the fledging administration some respite after a contentious first month in office.
Overall, 73 lawmakers voted in favor and 50 voted against confirming the Cabinet. Castilloโ€™s party, the Marxist-Leninist Peru Libre, holds only a minority of congressional seats.
