Three leftist legislators from Peru filed a constitutional complaint this Monday to request that the presidency of Congress initiate the debate on this measure against President Dina Boluarte. The complaint is based on the fact that Boluarte did not inform about a nose surgery she underwent in 2023.
The legislators argued that Boluarte's lack of transparency in not disclosing this surgery affects her ethics as president and that this must be discussed in Congress. They also expressed their concern about the alleged opacity in Boluarte's management and believe that this constitutional complaint is a necessary step to ensure transparency and accountability in the government.
Regarding this complaint, one of the legislators stated: "It is the duty of Congress to investigate any ethical or moral breach by a sitting president. Boluarte's lack of transparency cannot be overlooked, and we expect this complaint to be processed fairly and promptly." The leftist legislators hope that this legal action will contribute to strengthening democratic institutions in the country and ensure that government leaders are held accountable to the citizenry.
