Peru's Castillo chooses leftist party colleague as PM
Peru's President Pedro Castillo on Thursday named a prime minister from within his Marxist-Leninist Free Peru party -- 41-year-old Guido Bellido who first became a lawmaker six days ago and has never held public office. Inaugurated in Lima himself just Wednesday, Castillo presided over Bellido's swearing-in at the Pampa de la Quinua, site of the 1824 battle that ended Spanish domination of Peru and South America at large. Bellido, an electronic engineer, vowed he would represent the interests of all Peruvians and advance "the fight against corruption."
