Peruvian Congress Faces Backlash Over Archiving Case Against President

Peruvian Congress Criticized for Archiving Case Against President Boluarte: Attorney General Calls It a Premature and Potentially Unconstitutional Decision LIMA, PERU – The Attorney General of Peru, Delia Espinoza, has publicly criticized the decision by the Permanent Commission of the Peruvian Congress to archive a constitutional complaint against President Dina Boluarte in the so-called "Rolex Case." The case involves allegations of misconduct against the President. In a recent interview on Sol TV's Línea Directa, Espinoza stated, “The decision to archive the case is a mistake. It’s premature and could be a violation of the constitution.” Espinoza emphasized that the legal process regarding the accusations against President Boluarte should only begin after her term in office concludes. She highlighted the potential for unconstitutional actions if such decisions are made while a president is still in power. The Attorney General’s statement underscores the ongoing tensions between the executive and legislative branches in Peru. The incident is likely to fuel further debate and scrutiny regarding the handling of constitutional complaints against high-ranking officials in the country. The "Rolex Case" itself remains under investigation, and the Attorney General's comments suggest that the matter is far from resolved.
