Dina Ercilia Boluarte Zegarra (Spanish: [ˈdina eɾˈsilja βoˈlwaɾte seˈɣara] ⓘ; born 31 May 1962) is a Peruvian politician, civil servant, and lawyer currently serving as the President of Peru since 7 December 2022. She had served as the first vice president and minister at the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion under President Pedro Castillo. She served as an officer at the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (RENIEC) from 2007 until 2022.[1][2]
Boluarte is the first woman to become President of Peru. She was a member of Marxist political party Free Peru,[3] and was sworn in following Castillo's attempt to dissolve Congress and subsequent impeachment and arrest. Boularte's presidency has generally been described as conservative.[4][5] Boluarte has aligned herself with the right-wing of the Peruvian Congress and received support from Peruvian Armed Forces. Boluarte's use of military and the police against protestors has been controversial, some even accusing her government of being a dictatorship.[6][7][8][9] During her first months as president, protests against her government emerged across Peru, during which authorities perpetrated the Ayacucho massacre and Juliaca massacre. Analysts said that Boluarte's crackdown on protestors has undermined democracy.[10][11] Despite significant international concerns, Boluarte has praised the actions of the armed forces.[12]
On 10 January 2023, attorney General of Peru Patricia Benavides announced she was opening an investigation to determine if Boluarte, Prime Minister Alberto Otárola, Minister of the Interior Víctor Rojas, and Minister of Defense Jorge Chávez committed genocide and aggravated homicide.[13] Some Latin American governments, including Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico and Venezuela have continued to recognize Pedro Castillo as the democratically elected President of Peru and have refused to recognize Boluarte.[14][15][16][17][needs update]

The mainstream press, which is mostly opposed to Castillo's government, supported Boluarte's administration, which moved away from the left and aligned itself with conservative parties, seeking to protect markets and preserve the economic model which has been the status quo in the country for the past two decades.

the authorities deployed strong-arm tactics to quell demonstrations, including deadly force, arbitrary arrests, intimidation and the stigmatisation of demonstrators as terrorists or criminals in official discourse. As a result, we expect political instability to return, and we highlight the risk that these developments have set the scene for a move towards an authoritarian government reminiscent of that led by Alberto Fujimori in the 1990s
