Boluarte Weighs Amparo to Challenge Removal as Courts Set Travel-Ban Hearings

Her lawyer argues the 56‑minute notice from Congress violated her right to a defense.

Overview

  • Dina Boluarte's attorney, Joseph Campos, says he has proposed filing a constitutional amparo to contest the Oct. 9 congressional vacancia that ended her term.
  • The defense contends Congress gave Boluarte only 56 minutes to appear and denied a request to reschedule, citing Constitutional Court criteria, the Vizcarra and Kuczynski cases, and prior international condemnations.
  • Campos says the decision to proceed with the amparo rests solely with Boluarte and remains pending.
  • The Judiciary will hold hearings on Oct. 15 and 16 to evaluate requests to bar Boluarte from leaving Peru for 36 months in the 'Los Dinámicos del Centro' probe and for 18 months in a separate case over alleged improper favors tied to cosmetic surgeries.
  • Attorney Juan Carlos Portugal says Boluarte will not attend the Oct. 15 hearing on the 36‑month travel impediment request.
