  • Peruvian President Dina Boluarte is struggling with numerous controversies, including criticism over a concealed cosmetic surgery procedure and a major corruption investigation, amid ongoing protests sparked by Pedro Castillo’s removal in December 2022.
  • These issues arose as Boluarte's near two-week absence for plastic surgery in summer 2023 sparked controversy over her failure to inform Congress or delegate powers, which she denies.
  • In March 2024, police raids at Boluarte's home and presidential palace uncovered the 'Rolexgate' scandal, involving accusations of bribery with luxury watches and illicit enrichment.
  • Boluarte's disapproval rating stands at 93% per a recent Datum Internacional poll, and investigations include the deaths of over 60 people during protests after Castillo's removal.
  • This turmoil occurs amid a broader pattern of Peruvian presidential scandals, with at least seven presidents since 2000 facing corruption trials, underscoring a persistent crisis in governance.
