Javier Reategui became the eighth minister in three and a half years to resign from deeply unpopular Peruvian president Alejandro Toledo’s cabinet. Reategui is the second Interior Minister to resign, the first, Fernando Rospigliosi, resigned after an allegedly corrupt city mayor was beaten to death by workmen. Reategui’s resignation came when he was summoned to the Legislative Office to explain the government response to an uprising by 150 army reservists who seized a police station in Andahuaylas, a response that left six dead. President Alejandro Toledo’s approval ratings hover at 10%.
