In New Column, Dina Boluarte Defends Tenure, Says Resigning Was Irresponsible

Prosecutors are pursuing homicide and corruption cases related to her administration.

Overview

  • Boluarte published the Dec. 8 column arguing she left the country stable and that stepping down would have jeopardized institutional order.
  • Peru’s Public Prosecutor is advancing probes into homicide linked to protest deaths, illicit enrichment tied to undeclared luxury items, alleged criminal organization, and influence peddling.
  • Congress removed Boluarte from office on Oct. 10, 2025, with 121 votes under the article on permanent moral incapacity.
  • Reporting cites roughly 50 deaths during protests from December 2022 to March 2023, which are central to the homicide investigation.
  • Her brother Nicanor remains in pretrial detention over influence‑peddling allegations, and the executive branch is currently led by interim president José Jerí.
