Situation in Peru

The Brazilian Government follows with concern the internal political situation in Peru that led to the constitutional ousting of President Pedro Castillo by the Congress and the swearing-in of his Vice-President Dina Boluarte.

The measures adopted today, December 7, by President Pedro Castillo, which are incompatible with that country’s constitutional framework, represent a violation of democracy and the rule of law currently in force. The constitutional decision of the Peruvian Congress is expected to represent the guarantee of a fully functioning democratic State in Peru.

The Brazilian Government expresses its willingness to continue to maintain the solid relations of friendship and cooperation that unite the two countries and wishes President Dina Boluarte success in her role as Head of the Peruvian State.
