The Congress of Peru has approved the presidential vacancy of Dina Boluarte with 118 votes in favor, officially removing her from the presidency. This decision, announced during the reporting window between 3:36 AM and 5:36 AM UTC on October 10th, 2025, signifies the end of Boluarte's term. The vote occurred on October 10th, 2025, with the plenary session of Congress admitting the vacancy motion against President Dina Boluarte. This latest development follows previous vacancy attempts and intensifies the ongoing political crisis in Peru. The specific accusations leading to this final vote were not detailed in the provided source. Previous reports indicated that President Boluarte faced escalating political pressure, with earlier vacancy motions accusing her of incompatible negotiation and abandoning her post. Major political parties, including Fuerza Popular and Somos Perú, had previously announced their support for debating such motions, suggesting a significant inclination within Congress to review her leadership. The admission of the vacancy motion means Congress will proceed with further deliberations on the accusations against her, as confirmed by reports during the preceding window. In a separate development, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had previously 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.
