President Dina Boluarte of Peru was removed from office following a highly publicized impeachment vote by the Peruvian Congress on Thursday. The proceedings stemmed from a significant increase in crime rates across the nation, leading to widespread public concern and calls for political reform. Boluarte’s administration had been criticized for perceived mismanagement of public resources and a lack of effective governance during the previous two years. The impeachment was a culmination of ongoing protests and a growing dissatisfaction among various sectors of Peruvian society. The government has pledged to address the security challenges through a multi-faceted approach, including increased law enforcement and reforms to the judicial system.
