As he stated, in an interview with Punto Final, the recomposition will be made tomorrow Tuesday and will be limited to three appointments: the new head of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM) and the appointments in the two portfolios that remained headless after the resignations of the last friday.

Boluarte denied, however, that Pedro Angulo’s replacement is Jorge Nieto, former Minister of Culture and Defense during the government of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski. Nieto was listed as a possibility and had held a meeting with the head of state for an hour and a half last Friday at the Government Palace.
In contrast, he did not rule out the assumption of the position by the current Minister of Defense, Alberto Otárola, who is very close to the president and exercised his legal defense when he was prosecuted in Congress for a constitutional complaint about the case of the Apurímac Departmental Club.
Pedro Angulo will leave the PCM after being sworn in just 10 days ago as head of a technical cabinet that, according to Boluarte, sought to resolve the country’s needs as quickly as possible. However, the outbreak of the political and social crisis prompted the president to change this profile.
ELECTIONS AND PROTESTS
Dina Boluarte reiterated that she will not resign from office because “it would only be to agree with the violent people.” She stressed that she agreed with the early elections, but she asked the population to understand that there is a timetable established by law.
In addition, she said that she does not consider herself a “traitor” to the cause that brought Pedro Castillo to power and asked the leftist congressmen to agree to dialogue without political revenge.
In reference to the deaths in the demonstrations at the national level, Boluarte Zegarra reported that the corresponding investigations will be carried out in a military jurisdiction.
“The Prosecutor’s Office has already intervened. They are doing the relevant investigations. I have met with the head of the Armed Forces Command, with whom they have talked so that they can investigate in the military jurisdiction, ”he indicated in Fourth Power.
