Quito

Peru's Congress has voted to impeach President Dina Boluarte, citing moral incapacity and ongoing corruption allegations. Boluarte declined to appear before Congress to defend herself, prompting lawmakers to proceed with a unanimous vote for her removal. Rights groups have also accused her administration of using excessive force against protesters, particularly during demonstrations over corruption, pension reforms, and rising crime.

Following Boluarte's impeachment, Jose Heri was sworn in as the new president. Public reaction included demonstrations outside Congress and calls for Boluarte to face trial rather than seek asylum. The situation remains fluid as Peru navigates another abrupt change in leadership amid ongoing political turmoil.
