Overview

• New CPI polling shows President Dina Boluarte at 93.8% disapproval and 2.5% approval nationwide, with Congress at 94.4% disapproval.
• A Punto Final report details gifts listed after a relaxed July directive, including a Sanxingdui statue replica, luxury Korean cosmetics and Dior perfume, and notes alleged omissions such as Rolex watches from a regional governor.
• The Presidency called the coverage tendentious and framed gift exchanges as long-standing protocol, while Prime Minister Eduardo Arana said the new directive creates a public registry to ensure transparency.
• The JEE Lima Centro I says a PCM social post favored Fuerza Popular and is assessing a neutrality infraction, a claim Arana denies as he insists the government has not promoted any party.
• In New York, Boluarte highlighted actions on gender equality, acknowledged high poverty, courted investment projects, and rejected responsibility for past protest deaths as demonstrations and policing concerns remain in focus.
