On December 4, 2024, it was revealed that Peru's President Dina Boluarte underwent a nose surgery last year, a fact that had not been made public. This confirmation came from her former Prime Minister, Alberto Otárola.
Otárola stated that there was no power vacuum despite Boluarte's medical condition and the absence of vice presidents to temporarily assume the role. The revelation has reignited debate over the president's leadership and the scrutiny surrounding her aesthetic agenda since taking office.
