There would be friction within the Government Palace. Dina Boluarte would have thought about replacing the president of the Council of Ministers, Gustavo Adrianzen. Although there are different versions about the reasons for this decision, such as her current disapproval that exceeds 95% or the results of her management in the face of the wave of crime facing the country, the president sought at the time a replacement for Adrianzén: former Foreign Minister Javier González-Olaechea.
However, this change would come with conditions. According to La República sources in the Government Palace, former Minister González-Olaechea would have accepted the proposal for the new position as long as allowed to make changes: At least Juan José Santiváñez, Minister of the Interioror Morgan Quero, Minister of Education, had to step to his side as soon as he assumed the premiership. However, these requirements would not have convinced Dina Boluarte, having to look for another replacement option.
“The most likely thing is that the president will be content, or resigned, with a new prime minister who would be Eduardo Arana, current Minister of Justice,” said César Hildebrandt in his recent podcast. As this medium was able to verify, Dina Boluarte met on Monday, October 21, with the head of the Minjus for almost 3 hours, from 5 in the afternoon until 8 at night. Later, from 7 to 8 pm, the president met with Juan José Santiváñez, Walter Astudillo (Minister of Defense) and Morgan Quero. In addition to representatives of entities such as Migrations, the National Police and the head of the joint command of the Armed Forces.
