Peruvian President Dina Boluarte has replaced six ministers after they resigned as lawmakers submitted to Parliament a request to remove her from office.
Peruvian President Dina Boluarte replaced six ministers after they resigned as her government is rocked by a political crisis fueled by an alleged illicit enrichment scandal involving luxury watches. The Cabinet shakeup Monday came as lawmakers submitted to Parliament a request to remove her from office for 'permanent moral incapacity' three days after police broke down the front door of her residence to search for the watches as part of an investigation.
Boluarte is being preliminarily investigated for allegedly acquiring an undisclosed collection of luxury watches since becoming vice president and social inclusion minister in July 2021 and then president in December 2022. Lawmakers in their request to remove her from office cite the investigation against Boluarte as well as countrywide problems, such as rising crime. She has denied the illicit enrichment accusations.
Their resignations were followed by the ministers of agriculture, production and foreign trade stepping down. On announcing his resignation, Torres warned that if Boluarte leaves power 'the country will sink.' Boluarte then swore in six new ministers, including Walter Ortiz, a retired police officer who had previously been director against organized crime, as interior minister. The Cabinet has 18 ministries, in addition to the position of prime minister held by Gustavo Adrianzén.
