Boluarte Petitions Congress for Lifetime Pension and Ex‑President Benefits

Congress must rule on the request, with any payout contingent on validation of a pay raise she approved in office.

Overview

  • The formal letter to Speaker Fernando Rospigliosi cites Law 26519 and Congressional Board Agreement No. 78‑2016 to activate ex‑presidential entitlements.
  • Beyond a lifetime pension, she seeks an official vehicle for permanent use, one CAS hire paid S/3,700 monthly, 150 gallons of fuel each month, state security and continuation of private health insurance.
  • The monthly pension could fall between about S/26,000 and S/35,568 depending on a Council of Ministers review and congressional validation of the presidential salary increase from S/15,600 to S/35,568 approved during her term.
  • She initiated the benefits process roughly ten days after Congress removed her for "permanent moral incapacity," according to the reporting disclosed by Cuarto Poder.
  • Analysts note that ongoing fiscal and criminal probes do not halt these benefits unless Congress approves a constitutional accusation that would suspend payments pending a judicial outcome.
