“The welfare of children is non-negotiable”, Prime Minister Fernando Zavala declared in announcing that the opposition-controlled congress would have to censure the entire cabinet if it wanted to remove the embattled education minister Marilú Martens over her handling of the long-running teachers’ strike. Zavala made his move after the right-wing Fuerza Popular (FP, Fujimoristas) prepared a motion to censure Martens.
