Overview
- A congressional Labor Advisory report declared Dina Boluarte’s pension request inadmissible under Law 26519, citing that she was not elected by popular vote, assumed office by succession, and did not complete a full term.
- Her filing sought a monthly payment reported near S/35,000, though the law pegs any ex-presidential pension to a sitting legislator’s salary of S/15,600.
- Congress addressed only the pension request and left unresolved her separate asks for security, an official vehicle, an advisor, fuel allocation, and private health insurance.
- The Defensoría del Pueblo issued an institutional clarification that the lifetime stipend applies only to presidents elected by direct suffrage, contrasting with earlier remarks by the ombudsman that defended succession-based rights.
- In a separate proceeding, a national appeals court rejected prosecutors’ bid for a 36‑month travel ban on Boluarte in a money‑laundering probe, while her amparo to annul her congressional removal has a hearing set for March 12, 2026.
