Only 4 days after taking office, Peruvian Prime Minister steps down because he beat his wife one day!

Peruvian Prime Minister Ector Valer Pinto has said he will resign, several days after his appointment, after reports of complaints against him alleging that he practiced violence in his family, according to the Guardian newspaper.

According to the newspaper, the Prime Minister of Peru, Hector Valer, confirmed that he would step down from his position just four days after he was named to the position, after allegations surfaced that he beat his daughter and his late wife.

On Friday, Peruvian President Pedro Castillo said he would reshuffle his cabinet again, just three days after the government was formed, amid widespread condemnation for his appointment of Ector Valer Pinto as prime minister.

There was no indication when the amendment would take place on Saturday.

Now President Castillo must name his fourth government in just six months in office, as Peru teeters on the brink of a political leadership vacuum and there are calls for the former rural primary school teacher (President Castillo) to resign.

Prime Minister Ector Valer Pinto questioned the political right (the political side) to force him to resign based on false accusations of domestic violence. "The complaints against me are based on lies," he said, visibly angry.

Hours after Ector Valere Pinto was appointed on Tuesday, police reports emerged from 2016 accusing him of his daughter and his late wife of using violence against them.

One of the complaints made by his 29-year-old daughter, seen by the Guardian, detailed that he "slapped, punched and kicked her in the face, as well as pulling her hair".

The father denied the allegations and said the reports were false.

Under Peru's constitution, when the prime minister steps down, the entire cabinet must follow suit until a replacement is appointed and a new ministerial team is selected.

Women's rights groups protested the appointment of Ector Valer Pinto as the country's prime minister, and three of his colleagues called on him to step down.

Ector Valer, a conservative who opposes sex education and has a history of sexist statements, entered as a lawmaker with a far-right party, before switching to a party supporting President Castillo.

Castillo himself, who was a member of Peru's Marxist-Leninist party Libre, has moved increasingly to the right since taking office last July.
