Peru’s Congress ousts President Dina Boluarte amid crime crisis, swears in José Jerí as new head of state

Peru's Congress voted overwhelmingly to remove President Dina Boluarte from office, citing 'permanent moral incapacity' amid a worsening organized crime wave, corruption scandals, and record-low approval ratings. José Jerí, the 38-year-old head of Congress, was swiftly sworn in as the new head of state. This marks another dramatic political transition in Peru's ongoing governmental instability.
