Sharjah24 – Reuters: Peru's new prime minister Mirtha Vasquez said redrafting the country's pro-market constitution is not currently a priority for the government, despite it having been a key campaign promise.
"This government is not proposing (to change the constitution) and won't propose that overnight," Vasquez said during one of her first interviews late on Friday with state-owned TV Peru. "Right now, what matters is facing the pandemic and especially generating economic stability."

Vasquez, a former head of Congress, is the second person to become prime minister under President Pedro Castillo, who has been in the job just two months.
