According to the Comptroller’s Office, she signed documents as president of the Apurímac Departmental Club when she was already part of the government. She admits that she signed the documents, but she claimed a number of bureaucratic reasons for it.
This club is made up of those who, like her, live in Lima and are from Apurímac, a region in the southeast of the country.
There, in the district of Chalhuanca, was born on May 31, 1962, this woman with a slow voice and soft speech who discreetly leads her private life.
Gender equality activism
Boluarte has stated on several occasions his fight in favor of gender equality.
“Peru is committed to gender equality and the empowerment of women. The full exercise of their rights benefits our communities. There is no sustainable development without the development of women, there is no respect for human rights without respect for their dignity,” she said during the 52nd General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) in October of this year.
Dina Boluarte, President of Peru
In July, Boluarte said she was willing to sit in the presidential chair and even finish the term, until 2026, if the leftist Castillo, investigated for corruption by the Prosecutor’s Office and already then politically surrounded in Congress, was removed.
“There is a mandate that the people have given us, to govern for five years and that is the only agenda we have. To work these remaining four years (of the constitutional period) for the most vulnerable, the most needy,” she said when asked about the possibility in a press conference.
