Peru’s Constitutional Court has rejected former President Dina Boluarte’s attempt to temporarily suspend the proceedings related to her impeachment. Boluarte sought to halt the effects of her removal from office, citing permanent moral incapacity, while she pursues a legal challenge to the Congressional decision. The First Constitutional Chamber of Lima ruled against her request for a precautionary measure. This means the process of evaluating her impeachment will continue without interruption. Boluarte is attempting to annul the Congress’s decision through an amparo claim, a constitutional remedy. The court’s decision does not address the merits of the impeachment itself, only the suspension request. This ruling represents a setback for Boluarte’s efforts to regain the presidency.
