Overview
- The plenary is slated to take up the petition in the first week of December as Congress’s Human Resources unit reviews Boluarte’s documentation.
- No constitutional accusation against Boluarte has been approved to date, which keeps her eligible under existing norms while the review proceeds.
- Her filing seeks a pension plus logistical support that includes a permanent official vehicle, 150 gallons of fuel monthly, a CAS staffer chosen by her, and continuation of private health insurance.
- Several lawmakers signaled opposition, while Alianza para el Progreso floated pegging any payment to a congressperson’s salary instead of the presidential pay scale.
- Congressman Alejandro Muñante is pushing a bill to abolish pensions for vacated presidents that could nullify the request if passed, as the pension amount remains unsettled with estimates of S/26,000–S/35,000 depending on a pending salary increase and with Boluarte’s lawyer asserting it should match a legislator’s pay.
