Peruvian President Faces Possible Impeachment Over Secret Nose Surgery

Dina Boluarte is under investigation for failing to inform Congress about a 2023 medical procedure, raising constitutional concerns.

Peruvian President Dina Boluarte is accused of violating constitutional requirements by not notifying Congress of a rhinoplasty performed in July 2023.
The operation, which Boluarte claims was medically necessary for breathing issues, has sparked allegations of 'abandonment of post' and omission of duties.
Her lawyer argues the accusations are baseless, stating she signed 91 decrees during her recovery and remained capable of performing presidential duties.
The controversy adds to a series of legal challenges Boluarte faces, including investigations into alleged illicit enrichment and her role in protest-related deaths in 2022.
Boluarte, whose approval rating has plummeted to 3%, has denied calls for resignation and insists she will serve her term until July 2026.
