Boluarte Formally Seeks Lifetime Pension and Ex‑Presidential Perks After Ouster

Her filing proceeds under laws that allow benefits unless Congress approves a constitutional accusation that would suspend them.

Overview

  • Dina Boluarte sent a signed request to Congress President Fernando Rospigliosi to initiate the procedure for a lifetime presidential pension.
  • She asked for ex‑presidential benefits including an official vehicle, permanent state security, an advisor, a dedicated CAS worker paid S/3,700 monthly, continued private health coverage, and 150 gallons of fuel each month.
  • Legal specialists quoted in the reports say removal from office does not block these benefits unless Congress approves an acusación constitucional.
  • As of the latest reporting, Congress has not opened that proceeding, leaving no immediate legal obstacle to processing her claim.
  • The pension is set by the Council of Ministers with a legal ceiling of 10 public service Income Units, about S/26,000 per month, and her salary was raised from S/15,600 to S/35,568 three months before leaving office, which could affect the calculation within that cap.
