Peruvian President Dina Boluarte, who is leading a transitional government following the ouster of her predecessor, will replace the prime minister as part of a reshuffling of her Cabinet, she said on Sunday.
Boluarte was vice president until earlier this month when her predecessor, former President Pedro Castillo, was removed from office and then detained after illegally trying to dissolve Congress.
The Cabinet changes will take place on Monday and Tuesday, Boluarte told America Television's news program "Cuarto Poder" on Sunday. The shakeup follows the resignation of her education and culture ministers, who left because of the deaths during the protests.that the move was driven by a need "to be able to install knowledgeable ministers in each sector."
Boluarte also added that the new Cabinet, which will work with the opposition-led Congress, will be "a little more political."
