CRI听力:Peruvian Congressman Lashes out at Decision to Force PM's Resignation

Peruvian President Ollanta Humala is being forced to appoint a new Prime Minister for the country's Parliament.

This follows on the heels of the country's congress voting to remove the Prime Minister amid a major spying scandal.

Ana Jara has been ousted in a congressional vote after revelations her administration has been spying on opposition politicians.

Jara was also Peru's intelligence chief.

Lawmakers with the ruling party in Peru say the ouster of Jara is simply for political points. "Definitely the proposal of dialogue, of consensus, of tolerance, has not worked because there are no political forces looking for dialogue, consensus or tolerance. We are facing political forces that are only looking for political points ahead of the elections in 2016."

Peru's National Intelligence Directorate is being reorganized after revelations it had been monitoring members of Peru's political opposition.

The government has denied the allegations.

However, the scandal is widely expected to create a major shake-up for President Ollanta Humala's inner-circle.
