The Peruvian Congress voted to remove President Dina Boluarte from office on October 10th, 2025, with José Jerí subsequently sworn in as the new president. This action, occurring shortly after the vote, concludes Boluarte's presidency which began following Pedro Castillo's 2022 ouster. The removal was attributed to high crime and poverty rates, according to factal. This development follows previous vacancy motions against President Boluarte. Congress had previously admitted a vacancy motion on October 10th, 2025, with 113 votes in favor, during the reporting window between 2:06 AM and 3:36 AM UTC. Another vote on October 10th, 2025, resulted in 118 votes to officially remove her from the presidency, as reported in the prior window between 3:36 AM and 5:36 AM UTC. While the specific accusations detailed in the final vote were not provided, earlier vacancy attempts had cited incompatible negotiation and abandonment of her post. Political parties such as Fuerza Popular and Somos Perú had previously indicated support for debating such motions. In related news from previous reporting windows, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had announced a $20 billion economic support package for Argentina, intended to bolster President Javier Milei's economic policies. This package included direct peso purchases and a currency swap with Argentina's Central Bank, underscoring President Donald Trump's commitment to market stabilization and Argentina's strategic importance.
