Corruption in the government of Peru's first female president?

Abstract

This paper analyses the alleged signs of corruption during the first year in office of Peru's first female president, Dina Boluarte.  Corruption is a danger to the democratic regime that undermines the law and human ethical and moral principles. The essay presents the analysis of 40 thoroughly reviewed sources and addresses six indications of corruption in which the former Minister of Development and Inclusion and now president is allegedly involved, such as the alleged bank accounts, the illicit financing of the Perú Libre party, the constitutional complaint by Patricia Benavides, the controversial million-dollar payment by EsSalud to the company Aionia, the 20 million budget for the district of Nanchoc and the million-dollar trips abroad. The study of the alleged signs of corruption in which Dina Boluarte is closely linked shows that she is indeed committing acts of corruption that go against the patrimony, interests, goods, assets, the economy, the citizens and the Peruvian state. Furthermore, the Corruption Perception Index between 2022 and 2023 shows an increase of one point. This suggests that, during the president's first year in office, corruption in Peru has increased and is approaching the level of very corrupt. In conclusion, all the indications and evidence that become evident strengthen Dina Boluarte's guilt.
