Peru’s President Boluarte to make changes to cabinet, says minister

Peru’s President Dina Boluarte will make changes to her cabinet, Foreign Minister Javier Gonzalez-Olaechea said on Tuesday, as speculation swirled in local media that her prime minister could soon depart her government.
Gonzalez-Olaechea said during an event at the foreign ministry, the cabinet shuffle will be part of a “relaunch of the government’s general policy.”
His comments follow the publication of an audio clip in local media over the weekend purporting to be of Prime Minister Alberto Otarola attempting to improperly influence government contracts.
According to Peruvian law, any resignation by Otarola would require the other 18 cabinet members to also resign.
Boluarte would have the choice to reinstate each cabinet member or swap them out for a new minister.
