Argentine opposition lawmakers try to impeach Fernandez; success unlikely
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – A group of opposition Congress members will present on Friday a request for a political trial against center-left Argentine President Alberto Fernandez for 'poor performance in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic,' lawmakers said.The request is largely symbolic, with political tensions rising ahead of congressional elections scheduled for Nov. 14. Even sponsors of the measure acknowledged they do not have the votes to pass the bill.Among other charges, they accuse the Peronist leader of violating the country's quarantine rules when he held a small party at his residence.
