The appointment came after his victory to preside over Congress. He will replace center-right José Jerí, who was in office for just four months, demonstrating, if there were any doubt, the severe crisis of representation that Peruvian politics is experiencing.

The diplomatic crisis comes after asylum was granted to Betssy Chávez, a former minister in Pedro Castillo’s government, who, according to Mexico, is suffering political persecution.

Bermejo’s defense team has rejected the accusations and denounced alleged political persecution. Bermejo was emerging as one of the most highly rated presidential candidates in the Andean country.

Protests have not subsided despite Boluarte’s removal from office. Now, Jerí’s newly formed government faces an attempt at censure just days after he accepted the position.

Amid the clamor of the streets, Congress removed Boluarte, a slight adjustment to preserve their system of plutocracy, corruption, and fear.

Los manifestantes exigen el fin del gobierno que tiene la desaprobación más alta de todo el continente. Boluarte, sin embargo, afirma que no renunciará.

Protesters are demanding an end to the government with the highest disapproval rating on the entire continent. Boluarte, however, says she will not resign.

As more groups join the protests, repression has increased. Several journalists reported being attacked by the police.

Protests have once again erupted in Peru against the government of Dina Boluarte with the spark of the latest wave being the reform of the controversial pension system in the country.

Police officers, members of self-defense committees, and Peruvian military personnel who were under investigation or convicted of human rights violations between 1980 and 2000 will benefit from an amnesty law passed days ago.
