Peruvian President Pedro Castillo dumped his prime minister Friday just three days after appointing him, amid outrage over revelations he was accused of domestic violence in 2016.

祕魯總統佩德羅卡斯提洛任命總理僅3天後，週五在這名總理2016年被控家暴事件引起公憤之際撤換他。

"I have decided to recompose the cabinet," the president said, meaning Prime Minister Hector Valer Pinto is out.

這名總統說，「我已經決定改組內閣」，意味著總理赫克拖．瓦勒品托出局了。

The leftist Castillo announced the change in a brief television address in which he did not mention Valer Pinto by name.

左派的卡斯提洛在簡短的電視談話中，宣布這項人事改組，他在談話中並未點名瓦勒品托。

The opposition and even some cabinet ministers were up in arms about Valer Pinto’s continued presence in the government.

反對派、甚至一些內閣部長，都強烈反對瓦勒品托繼續在政府任職。
