Question
A former president of this country carries around a giant inflatable pencil referencing his party and wears a white, wide-brimmed hat from his home state. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this country whose left-wing president Pedro Castillo (“kah-STEE-yo”) defeated Keiko Fujimori in 2021, but was voted out by his Congress in 2022 after attempting to dissolve it.
ANSWER: Perú [or Republic of Peru; or República del Perú; or Piruw Ripuwlika; or Piruwxa Ripuwlika]
[10h] Instead of impeachment, Castillo “vacated” the presidency after a congressional vote to declare this two-word status. In 2000, Alberto Fujimori fled to Japan but was still vacated due to this status.
ANSWER: moral incapacity [or permanent moral incapacity; or incapacidad moral]
[10m] Castillo’s supporters include Bolivia’s Luis Arce (“l’WEESE AR-say”), who compared his ousting to this politician’s 2019 overthrow of Evo Morales. In 2022, she was sentenced for 10 years for her role in the coup.
ANSWER: Jeanine Áñez (“jah-NEE-nay AHN-yess”)
