Peru’s President José Jerí ousted, marking eighth change in leader in less than a decade

By CNN staff

(CNN) — Peru’s president has been ousted after being censured by Congress, marking the country’s eighth change of leader in nearly a decade of political instability.

Peru’s Congress approved a motion of censure against José Jerí by 75 votes to 24 in a move that came just four months after he took office as interim president and two months before an expected general election.

The vote follows accusations that Jerí had held unofficial meetings with Chinese businesspeople, on one occasion while wearing a hood, which led to an investigation by the Attorney General’s Office for possible illegal sponsorship and aggravated influence peddling.

“The presiding officers declare the office of President of the Congress of the Republic vacant, and consequently, the office of President of the Republic is vacant,” said Fernando Rospigliosi, acting head of Congress.

The various political blocs will now meet to agree a list of candidates for President of Congress, for a legislative vote that will determine the next interim president.

Jerí, 39, assumed the presidency in October after becoming Speaker of Congress when President Dina Boluarte was impeached. Boluarte had led the executive branch since the 2022 impeachment and arrest of Pedro Castillo, who served for a year and a half.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Estos son los pequeños cambios que te ayudarán a superar los desafíos cotidianos de la vida

Por Terry Ward, CNN

¿Te sientes desanimado porque tu resolución de Año Nuevo no superó enero sin fracasar?

Únete a la multitud cuyos objetivos para 2026 ya fueron tirados a la basura.

El segundo viernes de enero se ha ganado el apodo de Día del que abandona, y es probable que para entonces muchos ya hayan abandonado sus propósitos y la mayoría de sus resoluciones hayan fracasado a mediados de marzo.

Según la Dra. Michele Kehrer, fisioterapeuta y conferencista de Cape Coral, Florida, es posible que necesites ajustar tu forma de abordar esas resoluciones. Como escribe en su nuevo libro, ”Brave Shift: 30 Mindset Changes to Transform Your Life”, pequeños cambios en tu forma de pensar pueden ser cruciales para crear la realidad que deseas alcanzar en los negocios y en la vida.

Un objetivo no debería ser cambiarlo todo, dijo Kehrer, cuatro veces sobreviviente de cáncer.

“Se trata de cambiar algunas cosas que lo cambian todo”, comentó Kehrer, en referencia a las 30 “reglas” que la ayudaron a superar los desafíos cotidianos que muchos enfrentan, incluidos el divorcio, una empresa comercial y grandes cambios en la vida.

En una conversación con CNN, Kehrer compartió cómo los pequeños cambios pueden ayudarte a alcanzar tus objetivos.

Esta conversación ha sido ligeramente editada y condensada para mayor claridad.

CNN: ¿Hay alguna razón por la que fijar una meta a veces nos lleva al fracaso?

Dra. Michele Kehrer: A menudo, cuando las personas se fijan una meta importante, no encuentran una razón para lograrla. Tener esa razón es fundamental, porque cuando no quieres hacer algo necesario para alcanzar tu meta, puedes recurrir a ella. Eso suele ser suficiente para impulsarte.

Cuando tienes una razón o un objetivo, quieres asociarlo con una emoción. Decir “quiero bajar de peso” no significa nada porque no es cuantificable. Así que podrías pensar más bien en algo como: “Quiero bajar dos kilos porque quiero que me quede este vestido porque me voy de vacaciones”. Eso tiene un impacto diferente. Te hace sentir responsable y orgulloso de ti mismo y de tus logros.

Podría ser algo tan simple como querer estar más en contacto con tus seres queridos. Podrías tomar una nota y pegarla en el refrigerador para recordar a quiénes quieres llamar cada semana.

CNN: En tu libro hablas de usar unpincel mágico” para cambiar tu mentalidad. ¿A qué te refieres?

Kehrer: Conozco a mucha gente que escribe sus propósitos de Año Nuevo empezando con una lista de todo lo que creen que está mal en ellos, o todo lo que están haciendo mal. Eso significa que parten de una mentalidad negativa en lugar de pensar en cómo les gustaría mejorar. En cambio, piensen en cómo quieren que su vida sea diferente.

Uno de los cambios que he aprendido es pensar en usar un “pincel mágico” para crear la vida que deseas. Imagina cómo quieres que sea tu día, tu semana y tu mes. Y luego empieza a pensar en lo que necesitas para lograrlo. De esa manera, abordarás las cosas con una mentalidad positiva y una alegría inspirada, en lugar de lo contrario.

El año tiene 365 días. Empieza por pensar en lo que más te gustaría lograr y usa tu pincel mágico para alcanzarlo.

CNN: Hablas de la importancia delimpiar tu propio desastre”. ¿A qué te refieres con eso como cambio de mentalidad?

Kehrer: Creo que, en nuestra sociedad actual, la idea de arreglar lo que uno mismo ensucia es muy relevante, porque vivimos en una época en la que todos le atribuyen la responsabilidad a otros. Pero hay que reflexionar profundamente y preguntarse
