LIMA, Peru (AP) — Peru's accidental president, Dina Boluarte, found herself in the spotlight at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Lima, despite her low public approval rating of just 4%. Boluarte, who assumed office in December 2022 following the ousting of former President Pedro Castillo, has faced challenges and criticism during her tenure.
Recent events, including a police raid on her home over alleged unlawful enrichment and a sharp decline in her approval rating, have further fueled public discontent. Boluarte's limited public appearances and lack of engagement with the media have added to the perception of her administration's disconnect from the people.
