Peruvian newspapers on Wednesday highlighted the inevitability of President José Jerí's dismissal, with notable headlines such as 'Foreseen Fall' from 'Perú21' and 'Inevitable Fall' from 'El Comercio'. These editorials reflect a consensus on the president's downfall, primarily due to allegations of influence peddling, unauthorized meetings with Chinese businessmen, and irregular hiring practices, suggesting that Jerí's fate was sealed. The political discourse now centers around the method of his dismissal.

'El Comercio' states that once a president loses the public's trust quickly, political downfall becomes unavoidable, yet it criticizes the Congress for opting for a simple censure vote. Various constitutional experts had indicated that the appropriate action should be a removal based on permanent moral incapacity, according to Article 113 of the Constitution. This contention raises questions regarding the legitimacy of the legislative body's approach in handling the crisis.

Critics argue that the Congress took the expedient route by using a simple majority instead of the more complex process requiring a supermajority of 87 votes, as necessitated by the Constitution. This decision has sparked debates among constitutional scholars and political analysts about the implications of such a rushed dismissal, hinting at possible future ramifications for the political landscape in Peru.
