Vizcarra Demands José Jerí’s Resignation, Plans to Join Oct. 15 Protest

He argues Jerí lacks political legitimacy for shielding Dina Boluarte under a pact with Congress.

Overview

  • Vizcarra said on Exitosa he will take part as a citizen in Wednesday’s mobilization in downtown Lima to press for Jerí’s departure.
  • He alleges Jerí protected former president Dina Boluarte and shelved an inquiry into her while denouncing a “pacto mafioso” with Congress.
  • He floated Flor Pablo, Carlos Anderson, Ruth Luque and Susel Paredes as potential successors through constitutional succession.
  • Paredes publicly declined the idea of assuming the presidency without an election, saying she would only seek the office by popular vote.
  • The call represents a reversal of his 2021 support for Jerí documented in campaign videos, as Vizcarra also reiterated plans to run in 2026 pending a favorable IACHR ruling.
