Overview

• Congress removed Dina Boluarte for “permanent moral incapacity,” and congressional leader José Jerí, 38, was sworn in to serve through the 2026 election cycle.
• In his first act in office, Jerí convened top Armed Forces and National Police commanders to coordinate an intensified response to rising crime.
• Lawmakers urged a reconciliation-focused first cabinet, with calls to engage southern regions, transport unions and Generation Z to ease social tensions.
• Criticism of Congress’s choice persisted, as APP leader César Acuña said legislators must own the decision to back Jerí despite ongoing allegations and investigations.
• Financial reaction was muted on Friday—dollar bonds were little changed and the sol slipped about 0.2%—while analysts said short-term volatility hinges on cabinet picks, especially the economy post.
