\n LIMA, Peru \u2014 Peruvian President Mart\u00edn Vizcarra\u2019s job is on the line Friday as opposition lawmakers push through an impeachment hearing criticized as a hasty and poorly timed ouster attempt in one of the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers app<\/a>eared to be far short of the two-thirds majority vote required to remove Vizcarra from office, but even if he dodges the impeachment attempt, analysts warned that he would not escape the ordeal entirely unscathed.<\/p>\n

His ability to carry forward the anti-corruption agenda he has sought to make the hallmark of his short administration could be further jeopardized if Vizcarra is perceived as having engaged in influence peddling himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis credibility in carrying through that agenda is already problematic,\u201d said Jo-Marie Burt, a senior fellow with the Washington Office on Latin America. \u201cThis really hangs in the balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The political turmoil rocking Peru has briefly distracted attention from one of the world\u2019s worst coronavirus outbreaks and involves a cast of characters that could easily fit into a soap opera.<\/p>\n

At the center of the ordeal is Vizcarra\u2019s relationship with a little-known musician known as Richard Swing and nearly $50,000 in questionable contracts that he was given by the Ministry of Culture for activities like motivational speaking.<\/p>\n

A covert audio recording shared by Edgar Alarc\u00f3n \u2014 a lawmaker himself charged with embezzlement \u2014 appears to show Vizcarra coordinating a defense strategy with two aides, trying to get their stories straight on how many times the musician had visited him.<\/p>\n

Vizcarra insists no illegal activity took place and he has not been charged.<\/p>\n

Though Vizcarra is entitled to speak to Congress in his own defense, it was widely expected that he would be represented by an attorney. But while analysts have criticized the rushed procedure in which the impeachment proceeding was initiated within hours of the audio\u2019s release, many agreed that the president owes Peruvians an explanation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing the president could do is go to Congress, explain the audios and go hibernate,\u201d said Alonso C\u00e1rdenas, a politics professor at the Antonio Ru\u00edz de Montoya university in Lima. \u201cLet his ministers take the spotlight until his government is up.\u201d<\/p>\n

As lawmakers began arriving at Congress Friday morning, several expressed doubt that the impeachment would succeed but cautioned that anything could happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping nothing changes,\u201d legislator Gino Costa told local media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vizcarra became president in 2018 after Pedro Pablo Kuczynski resigned the presidency under pressure by Congress after the discovery of about $782,000 in undisclosed payments to his private consulting firm by Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht, which is at the center of a regionwide corruption scandal.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
