Peru President Castillo names member of far left party as Prime Minister
- Country:
- Peru
Peruvian President Pedro Castillo on Thursday named Guido Bellido, a member of his Marxist party as Prime Minister, in an indication of the pressure likely to be brought to bear on the new head of state by the far-left party that backed him.
Bellido is a member of the self-described Marxist-Leninist Free Peru party, with which Castillo won the presidency this year. Bellido is also an elected congressman.
