“The official motivation is the rise of insecurity, caused by organized crime running free in the country. However, Boluarte’s administration has been marked by human rights abuses, corruption and a complete incapacity to govern. There are no saints in this story. Congress is equally responsible for the political crisis in Peru. With only six months until the general election takes place in April 2026, this possible destitution will add more instability to a highly polarized society.”

"Dina Boluarte had been controversial since the beginning of her presidency and is accused of genocide for targeted assassinations of indigenous opponents. Political instability in Peru is a chronic problem, but this president had long been accused of corruption and had authoritarian tendencies."
