Overview

• Peru’s Congress is moving forward with a parliamentary review that could declare a presidential vacancy against Dina Boluarte.
• Attorney Juan Carlos Portugal contends that formal rule compliance does not make the proceeding reasonable and warns lawmakers are acting outside constitutional parameters.
• He said neither he nor the president will appear in the legislature until minimum guarantees for due process are in place.
• Portugal denied any intention by Boluarte to flee and urged respect for constitutional norms.
• In public statements and posts on X, he underscored the 50‑minute notice and vowed “we will not validate it,” and Caretas reported his message signals a plan to challenge the process before the Constitutional Court with a possible appeal to the Inter‑American system.
