PRESSURE on unelected Peruvian President Dina Boluarte continued to mount on Monday, with legislators submitting a request to parliament to remove her from office.

The accusation of “permanent moral incapacity” was made three days after police broke down the front door of Ms Boluarte’s residence to search for luxury watches as part of an investigation into alleged corruption.

The request was submitted by members of various parties including Free Peru, to which Ms Boluarte once belonged.
