Then, in 2021, she took the positions for which we know her in politics. Betsy Chavez was elected as a congressman with the party Free Peru. After that, she was summoned in the cabinet of the former prime minister Mirtha Vasquez as owner of Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion in October of last year.
And in that position it was until it was censored in May 2022 by the Congress of the republic and had to leave office.

Maria del Carmen Alva describes the appointment of Betssy as “provocation”
The Acciopopulista stated that Betssy Chávez would be the “conceited” one of the Government of Pedro Castillo because she has gone through two portfolios and is now the president of the Council of Ministers. Likewise, considered that his appointment would have been intended to “provoke” Parliament after the rejection of the question of confidence, presented by the then prime minister Hannibal Torres.
“Unfortunate that once again, Prime Minister, a person who seeks consensus and dialogue, they put Mrs. Betssy Chávez, who has passed from the Ministry of Labor, in which she was censored, to the Ministry of Culture, when there was pure problem in Chan Chan, Machu Picchu with a strike and Kuelap, which is falling apart because it has not done anything,” he said in Exitosa.
