Dina Voluarte

Peruvian politician, 64th President of Peru .

As the first female president of Peru in history, she succeeded to the presidency as vice president when President Pedro Castillo was dismissed from office due to a coup attempt in Peru in 2022 , but she completely lost public support to the point where she was called the president with the lowest approval rating in the world and was eventually unanimously dismissed by Congress. However, surprisingly, he is the first Peruvian president to have been in power for more than two years since Martin Vizcarra, and the longest-serving Peruvian president since 2016.

The party it belonged to was the far -left to left-wing Liberal Peru , but when President Castillo left the party due to issues of centrism and corruption, it left the party and is now an independent party . After the succession to the presidency, its political inclinations became conservative in solidarity with right-wing parties, including the People Power Party .

1962 Born on May 31 in Chaluanca, Apurimac Province, he graduated from the University of San Martin de Porres and worked as a lawyer . He ran for mayor of Lima's Surquillo district in 2018 and the 2020 early general elections as a member of Free Peru , but was defeated in both elections.

In the 2021 Peruvian presidential election, he ran as a running mate for Pedro Castillo and was elected vice president. He originally belonged to Free Peru , but was expelled by the party leadership. However, she succeeded to the presidency in 2022 when Pedro Castillo was ousted following an attempted coup d'état in Peru, and she became Peru's first female president.

In his first speech to Congress after taking office on December 7 , 2022 , he strongly criticized former President Pedro Castillo's attempted coup against his family and declared his will to form a unity government to resolve the political crisis. #

After his official inauguration, he announced that he would carry out his duties as president for the remaining three and a half years of Castillo's term, and is making efforts to show a different side from former President Castillo by demanding that newly appointed ministers take an anti-corruption pledge. However, the people who took part in anti-government protests are demanding the dissolution of the government and early general elections. In addition to the protesters who opposed Castillo, those who expressed support are also demanding Boluarte's resignation. # In particular, in Apurimac, the riots grew to the level of rebellion, and a state of emergency was declared for 30 days. # During this process, soldiers opened fire on protesters, killing 10 people and injuring more than 61 people. Bloodshed also occurred.

In the end, as the protests intensified and clashes between police and protesters resulted in the death of two teenagers and the injury of five others, it was decided to accept some of the demands and push for early general elections. However, it does not mean holding an immediate general election, but rather adjusts it to April 2024, two years earlier than before. #

However, as the early general election bill was rejected by the National Assembly, the political tension appears to continue. # It was later decided to move it forward to April 2024. However, this was also postponed to April 2026, and the next general election was eventually confirmed to be held in April 2026.

On December 17, 2022, President Boluire said he didn't want to resign at a press conference. # If I resigned neatly at that time, I would have been embarrassed internationally with a 10 -day president of the British Prime Minister Leeds Truss (50 days).[2] At least, as described later, it would not have been more ugly than the time of December 17, 2022.

January 9, 2023 . At least 18 people were killed and more than 100 injured by police responding to protests in the Huliuca area . # Therefore, critical voices grew louder. Nevertheless, Boluarte completely avoided responsibility, saying that he was not responsible for the suppression of the protesters and that it was an arbitrary action of the police and military. # Eventually, the Peruvian Ministry of Justice was investigated in relation to the massacre of protesters. #

In March 2024 , the police were seized and searched by the police as a rolex gate.[3] This is the first case in Peru's history of seized and searched. It was confirmed that only 17 were confirmed to have been confirmed by high -end clocks such as Rolex ($ 21,000 and 38,000), which could not be purchased at Boluire's income ($ 4,200) , and a high -end jewelry collection worth $ 500,000. Even Boluerte had not recorded them in the asset report, and considering that the GDP per capita of Peru was only $ 8,316, which is only twice the salary of IMF statistics in 2024 , it is inevitable whether or not corruption is involved. In addition, more than $ 400,000 monetary transactions have been discovered, which includes $ 296,000 of unknown sources, deposited with Boluire's bank account. Of course, she denied allegations of corruption, saying that she was biased for the Rolex Gate media reports, and these 'vintage items' bought them with the money they earned. # Because of the Spanish Wikipedia and the Rolex Gate document, they were killed twice on April 4, 2024, but both were rejected.[4] In mid -2024 , the Congress passed a law that interferes with criminal prosecution of corruption and abuse of power. #[5]

On November 17, 2024 , a summit meeting was held in Lima with South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol, who was visiting Peru for the APEC summit . # Coincidentally, both were impeached the following year.

Two days later, on November 19, her brother Nicanor Boluarte was arrested and sentenced to three years in pre-trial detention on corruption charges, including bribery and involvement in a criminal organization. #

In December 2024, the resignation was discussed because of nose molding. According to former Prime Minister Alberto Otarola, who was dismissed in March 2024, President Boluarte was not in public for two weeks from June 28 to July 10, 2023, because he had been recovered after receiving a nose surgery for a respiratory problem, and he did not inform anyone about the nose and did not decorate the parliament.[6] The fact that it is a reason to be dismissed by violating the Constitution, which is a violation of the constitution. The first vice chairman of the National Assembly, Patrysia, a member of the people's power , tried to evolve the controversy, saying, "It is a storm of water." #

On March 4, 2025 , the media that reported aides was "a coup for the media." #

In April 2025, the Peruvian Council dismissed the suspicion that the Rolex clock was bribed by the Peruvian Council and avoided the impeachment crisis. #

On July 3, 2025, he raised his salary by 2.2 times. #

On October 5th, right after a shooting incident occurred at a concert hall amidst intensifying anti-government protests as young people were forced to sign up for private pensions.[7] Meanwhile, when right-wing presidential candidate Philip Butters visited Puno on October 8, the bereaved families of those killed in the 2022-2023 protests and Puno residents protested by throwing eggs and other items at Philip Butters, demanding an apology for defending the past Blo Arte regime and denouncing the protesters as terrorists. As these events coincided, right-wing political parties that had virtually participated in the coalition government belatedly proposed an impeachment bill. Bleuarte was cut off, and shortly after midnight on October 10, Congress unanimously voted (124 to 0) to impeach Peruvian President Dina Voluarte for permanent moral incompetence .[8] It is said that the Congress even requested Voluarte to appear to defend herself when raising the impeachment bill, but when Voluarte did not appear, they decided to immediately dismiss her. #1 #2 #3 In this way, Dina Boluarte became the second president to be impeached in a row, following Castillo.

Immediately after the impeachment, the presidency was succeeded by José Herri , President of the Peruvian Congress, in accordance with constitutional provisions. Since then, Boluarte's whereabouts have not been confirmed, and some speculate that he may have gone into exile in Colombia .

Meanwhile, Peruvian prosecutors requested a ban on former President Boluarte leaving the country on October 15, but the court dismissed the request on the grounds that there was no risk of flight. #

On October 24, 2025, local media reported that Boluarte was considering running for the 2026 Peruvian presidential election . #

Meanwhile, the results of a public opinion poll were also announced, showing that 81% of the public were in favor of Voluarte's impeachment, while only 16% were against it. #

Boluarte's approval rating during his time in office was so miserable that he was nicknamed the world's most unpopular president . With the exception of Brazil 's Michel Temer, there has been no president whose popularity has been so poor throughout his term .[9]

As of December 2022, the approval rating was 21% positive and 68% negative, and in February 2023, only two months after taking office, the approval rating fell below 20%. And in October 2023, the negative evaluation reached the 80% range and the positive evaluation was only 14%. A month later, the positive evaluation reached exactly 10%.[10] President Boluarte's approval rating in his first year in office. A public opinion poll conducted immediately after his inauguration for the new president's inauguration showed shocking results of 27% in favor and 71% against. # Depending on the research organization, there are even statistics showing that the approval rating has never exceeded 20% since taking office.[11]

According to the 2023 Datum survey, President Boluarte was ranked as the worst negative person in Peru this year, receiving 38% of the votes, which was overwhelmingly higher than other politicians such as Pedro Castillo (11%, 2nd place) and Keiko Fujimori (8%, 3rd place). #

In an Ipsos poll on March 24, 2024, after the Rolex Gate was exposed, the approval rating was recorded at 9% , recording a single-digit approval rating. The negative evaluation is a whopping 88%. # Even just two months later, on May 26th, the approval rating was 5% positive and 90% negative, reaching a point of virtually no recovery, which is said to be the lowest approval rating of any Peruvian president in history.[12] As of October, the approval rating was 5% positive and 92% negative, and in November it was 3% positive and 94% negative . # On December 10th, negative evaluations increased by 1%, with 3% positive evaluations and 95% negative evaluations.[13] # The number of people who remain neutral is only 2%, and at this point, it is completely impossible to talk about Shai's supporters.[14] Even though he has been in power for over 9 months, he has maintained a single-digit approval rating.

It's a place like this, so it's Spanish According to Wikipedia , the Peruvian people hate her to the point that they call her La Descarada , which means the shameless one, Dina Balearte , which is taken from Balear , which means shooting, and Dina Asesina , which means the murderous Dina . Castillo's supporters also openly accuse Boluarte of being a dictator . However, she completely ignores public opinion, saying, “We are not working for public opinion polls,” and calls herself the “ mother of all Peru .” #

In Pisco, residents celebrating the new year of 2025 held a Voluarte doll burning ceremony. #

In January 2025, it recorded 5%support rate and 92%of negative evaluation, 4%support rate and 91%of negative evaluation in February . # 4%support rate and 91%of negative evaluation in March. It can also be confirmed that the difference in support rate between the comprehensive support rate, household, and class is not so large. In April , it returned to 3%of support and 94%of negative evaluation. #

In May, it recorded an approval rating of 2% and a disapproval rating of 94%. This is Voluarte's lowest approval rating ever. # Even the approval rating in the northern region is said to be 0% . So the Peruvians are asking for help from the new Pope Leo XIV, who has served Peru for a long time. # In the same month, it reached a milestone of 1.6% approval rating and 97% disapproval rating . # Even though he maintained a single-digit approval rating and a negative rating in the 90% range for over a year , he was only belatedly impeached, which is even more impressive.

As of July 2025, the approval rating had once again broken an unprecedented record of 1.3% . However, the negative evaluation actually decreased to 95.7% . # However, considering that the positive evaluation among CEOs was abnormally high at 7% positive and 83% negative, it was safe to say that the company actually survived on the support of vested interests. #[15]

Voluire's support rate after June 2024

First of all, the fact that Boluarte succeeded to the presidency as vice president was a problem in itself. Castillo's supporters defined Boluarte as a 'traitor', believing that he had joined hands with right-wing politician Keiko Fujimori and others in the impeachment situation, while Castillo's opponents, on the other hand, recognized Boluarte as a key collaborator of the Castillo regime. As a result, it started without properly securing the trust of either the left or the right.[16]

After taking power, he was criticized both at home and abroad for his hard-line crackdown on anti-government protests by mobilizing the police and military to open fire, resulting in the deaths of dozens of people, and his approval ratings continued to fall as early general elections, which had been requested by the people, were postponed using various excuses. Crucially, the Rolex scandal broke out and his approval rating hit rock bottom. Moreover, even though an impeachment bill was proposed due to the Rolex scandal, public sentiment was further inflamed as it was revealed that he had avoided impeachment twice and remained in office for several months thanks to the defense shield of the ruling coalition, and that he had disappeared for two weeks without prior notice after nose surgery. When his own younger brother was finally detained on corruption charges, the anger in Peruvian society reached the brink of explosion.

The situation was serious not only in political terms, but also in terms of economy and security. Peru's economic growth rate in 2023 fell to -0.6%,[17] The inflation rate is also 6.3%[18] The overall economic indicators deteriorated sharply.[19]

In addition, as of 2024, the murder rate has surged by more than 30% compared to the previous year, greatly shaking up public order.[20] Given the situation, it was rather surprising that the approval rating remained at even 1.3%. In the end, this serious worsening of public security served as the core of the grounds for impeachment, and the Voluarte regime ended prematurely without completing its normal term.
