**Peru's Prime Minister Resigns Just Before No-Confidence Vote Amid Rising Crime Concerns**
Peru faces political instability as Prime Minister Gustavo Adrianzén steps down prior to a pivotal no-confidence vote, exacerbating the country's crisis.
In a dramatic turn of events, Peru's Prime Minister Gustavo Adrianzén has resigned mere hours before he was scheduled to face a no-confidence vote in Congress. This decision comes in the wake of intense public outrage following the horrifying kidnap and murder of 13 mine workers, which has sent shockwaves through the nation.
Adrianzén's departure marks another setback for President Dina Boluarte, who is grappling with plummeting approval ratings amid a surge in crime. His resignation is particularly significant as he is the third prime minister to serve under Boluarte, demonstrating the ongoing instability in Peruvian governance. Under the country's constitution, the resignation of a prime minister necessitates the resignation of the entire cabinet, leading to a forced reshuffle of key positions within the government.
This political upheaval unfolds during a time of increasing unrest in Peru, as citizens voice their frustrations over escalating crime rates, particularly related to extortion. Recent months have seen thousands protest in the streets, demanding immediate action against criminal gangs that impose payments on even the smallest of businesses, including transport operators.
In a move aimed to stabilize her government, President Boluarte had just reshuffled her cabinet, introducing new ministers for finance, interior, and transport hours before the resignation announcement. Now, all these ministers face the prospect of stepping down shortly after their appointments. The political crisis in Peru is further fueled by the public’s growing impatience, stemming from Boluarte's perceived failure to effectively combat crime and maintain security in the country.
