Peru's President Pedro Castillo has fired Prime Minister Héctor Valer Pinto, who was appointed just three days ago, over allegations of domestic violence.
"I have decided to reshuffle the government," Castillo said on Friday.
When the President unveils the next government, it will be the fourth since he took office six months ago.
Valer Pinto came under pressure on Thursday when newspapers reported that his wife and daughter reported him for domestic violence in 2016.
The opposition and parts of the government then demanded his resignation.
The 62-year-old Prime Minister denied being an "abuser" and said he had never been convicted of domestic violence.
Surprise meeting with Bolsonaro
A visit by Peruvian President Castillo to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro drew attention this week.
In an election year in which attacks against the left and the Labor Party resumed in Brazil, Bolsonaro met Castillo in Porto Velho, capital of the Amazonian state of Rondônia.
Among other things, the two presidents agreed to increase bilateral trade and promote mutual investments.
This emerged from a joint statement on Thursday.
Bolsonaro had criticized Castillo's extremely narrow election victory over right-wing populist Keiko Fujimori.
Brazil's Vice President Hamilton Mourão traveled to the Peruvian President's swearing-in ceremony at the end of July 2021.
Also, as head of state of the largest country in Latin America, Bolsonaro neither attended the inauguration of left-wing politician Xiomara Castro in Honduras at the end of January, nor does he plan to attend the inauguration of left-wing politician Gabriel Boric in Chile in mid-March.
In the case of Peru, he highlighted common values such as conservatism, love for the country, respect and family.
