Peruvian Congressman Seeks Probe of Ex-Mayor for Racist Remarks on Cusco Voters

Peruvian congressman Jair Manrique has formally asked prosecutors to investigate former Pueblo Libre mayor Rafael Santos for alleged discrimination after Santos claimed 'lack of oxygen' affects voting in Cusco, implying voters there are less capable. The move escalates a domestic political dispute over racism, though legal action is at an early stage and Santos has not yet responded publicly.
