President Boluarte swears in the new Peruvian cabinet with Pedro Angulo as prime minister

MADRID, 10 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, began this Saturday to swear in the new cabinet, led by the lawyer Pedro Angulo as the country's new prime minister, in a ceremony that ends a week of extreme political tension in the country after the arrest of the ex-president Pedro Castillo for having attempted to carry out a coup.

The ceremony began in the Elespuro room of the Palacio de Pizarro with some delay regarding the appointments, which also included Alberto Otárola as Defense Minister, César Augusto Cervantes Cárdenas (Interior), Alex Contreras (Economy and Finance) or Ana Cecilia Gerbasi Díaz (Exteriors).

Hours before, however, the president had to go to her Twitter account to send a message of calm after last night's protests in the country, led by followers of Castillo, which have resulted in at least eight injuries (four civilians, four police officers).

"Respect, dialogue and tolerance are essential in a democracy. The National Police have informed me that last night there were 7 detainees, in addition to 4 civilians and 4 policemen injured in some protests. We guarantee unrestricted compliance with Human Rights", he indicated. .

Boluarte has declared that, after the ceremony, he will begin preparations to visit former President Pedro Castillo, who is serving seven days in provisional prison at the National Directorate of Special Operations (Dinoes).
