Peru's constitution makes it extremely easy for Congress to remove a President. While they did not break any laws in impeaching him, Castillo's supporters are arguing that they impeached him on unjust grounds and in doing so Congress essentially committed a coup.

Its important to point out the constitution isn't some old tried and true document there. It was implemented by Fujimori to give him and his cabinet the most power possible. This is a guy that ran off to japan after his war crimes got too heavy. His son did some shady shit to help the president of peru avoid impeachment in 2017 in exchange to pardon his father. His daughter tried to regain power in the latest election and lost to Castillo. A bunch of that Congress is like a family crime syndicate loyal to Fujimori.
