PERU: Congress strikes down key Boluarte ally
Peru’s President Dina Boluarte has lost her closest confidant in the cabinet. Congress approved a motion of censure against the interior minister, Juan José Santiváñez, on 21 March, a day after he was summoned to explain to legislators why Peru was in the grip of an acute public security crisis and just hours before protesters converged on congress to demand that he be removed. Santiváñez’s successor, Julio Díaz Zulueta, a retired police general, had served as deputy public security minister since January 2024.
