Several Peruvian legislators this week announced separate vacancy motions to impeach President Dina Boluarte for permanent moral incapacity, in addition to the possibility that she may have violated the law. The parliamentarians argued that Boluarte had ignored the duties of her office by failing to account to Congress for her 12-day absence, which constituted a lack of transparency and fitness for that position.
During a plenary session on Thursday, Congress rejected admitting for debate two presidential impeachment motions, on the grounds of moral incapacity, presented by some parliamentary groups.
President Dina Boluarte s home in the Lima district of Surquillo was raided late Friday by the Police who went on to the Executive Branch s headquarters in the early hours of Saturday to carry out a search-and-size warrant granted by a Supreme Court magistrate to Attorney General Juan Villena.
Peruvian Congresswoman Margot Palacios said she feared President Dina Boluarte might try to flee the country during her participation in the Amazon summit in the Brazilian city of Belém, it was reported in Lima on Monday. Boluarte left the country for the first time as President to attend the event.
