Motion to remove the president of Peru is postponed until 2024

The motion that requested the dismissal of the president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, was shelved until 2024 due to the recess of the Legislature at the end of this year.

Internal conflicts have recently stirred in the Latin American country regarding the dismissal and arrest in 2022 of then-president Pedro Castillo. Added to this is the population’s rejection of the current president, Dina Boluarte.

According to a survey by the Institute of Peruvian Studies (IEP), “only nine out of every 100 Peruvians approve of his performance as ruler, another 84 disapprove and the remaining seven are indifferent about his performance.”

Regarding the impeachment motion, it is important to highlight that despite being widely promoted by left-wing legislators, it did not enter into debate in Congress.

The opposition has accused Boluarte of alleged constitutional violation, invoking vacancy, because the president traveled to Brazil without leaving someone responsible in the presidential office.

Serious deficiencies have been argued in “terms of motivation and adequate procedure”, which determine its nullity.

Alejandro Soto, president of Congress, has been the subject of reproaches and described as a “coward” after announcing the decision to freeze Boluarte’s impeachment motion until March 2024.
