Peruvian President Dina Boluarte faces political backlash after confirming she underwent a nose job in summer 2023. Lawmakers are calling for her removal, claiming she failed to delegate responsibilities during her recovery. The controversy intensified when Boluarte's former prime minister revealed the surgery to a congressional commission. Lawmakers argue her actions may violate constitutional rules requiring permission from Congress for such absences. Boluarte's approval ratings are low, and she has faced multiple scandals, including bribery allegations and responsibility for protester deaths. Her term is set to end in July 2026.
