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.

La defensa de Bermejo rechaza las acusaciones y denuncia una supuesta persecución política. Bermejo se perfilaba como uno de los precandidatos presidenciales mejores valorados en el país andino.

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.

The former PM has been in prison since the coup against Pedro Castillo. In her latest letter, she announced she was embarking on a hunger strike, explicitly stating she does not wish to be revived.

Pedro Castillo, who was overthrown by the right-wing Congress in December 2022, has called the ongoing trial a sham and demanded the charges against him be annulled.

The accusations against Castillo are based on a speech in which he called for a Constituent Assembly. Castillo affirms that this is a rigged trial to destroy the democratic option of the Peruvian people.
