Pedro Castillo surprises with hard-line Cabinet picks

Description

Lima, Jul 30 (EFE).- Newly inaugurated Peruvian President Pedro Castillo has named a novice lawmaker from the orthodox wing of his avowedly Marxist and socialist Peru Libre (Free Peru) party to lead his Cabinet, prompting an opposition backlash and taking much of the Andean nation by surprise.One day after taking office for his 2021-2026 term with calls for social justice and a new constitution but also a message of unity and reconciliation for the polarized country, Castillo on Thursday introduced Guido Bellido as new prime minister during a symbolic second inauguration at the Pampas de Ayacucho Historic Sanctuary near the town of Quinua in the southern region of Ayacucho.He then swore in the remaining members of his leftist-aligned Cabinet.
