"Investigation file for genocide against Dina Boluarte sparks political debate in Peru."

The decision of the Public Ministry to archive the investigation against President Dina Boluarte for the alleged crime of genocide has sparked a wide debate in the Peruvian political scene. This announcement, made by the head of the Cabinet, Gustavo Adrianzén, through his official account on the social network X, marks an important milestone in a case that has been surrounded by controversy since its inception. The deaths that occurred during the social protests in December 2022 and January 2023 had raised criticisms and calls for accountability, making this investigation a hot topic in the country. The resolution of the Public Ministry establishes that there are not enough grounds to file a constitutional complaint not only against Boluarte but also against other former officials, including former Prime Minister Pedro Angulo and several ex-ministers, who were also named in the accusations. This decision has been met with relief by the defense of the president, who argues that the charge of genocide was disproportionate and unfounded. Joseph Campos, lawyer for Dina Boluarte, emphasized that the archiving of the genocide accusation is a positive step, although he considered it overdue. According to him, this accusation had negative repercussions for both the president's image and the political stability of the country. "Genocide was madness; it never made sense," Campos stated, suggesting that the prolonged investigation had created an atmosphere of uncertainty that affected governance. The decision to archive the investigation also opens the door to a deeper analysis of the actions of law enforcement during the protests. Campos underscored the importance of investigating whether there was an appropriate use of force by the Armed Forces and the National Police. This issue is fundamental in the context of the public discussion on human rights and the state's responsibility in situations of social conflict. While Boluarte's defense celebrates the archiving of the genocide accusation, public opinion and political actors are divided. Some consider the archiving a relief for the president, while others question whether the necessary lessons have been learned from the tragic deaths that occurred during the protests. These deaths, which resulted in a number of citizens losing their lives, remain a point of pain and a demand for justice from the affected families. The situation becomes even more complicated when considering the political context in which this event is unfolding. The relationship between the Executive and the Legislative is in a critical state, and the message that Boluarte delivers to the nation is closely observed not only by her supporters but also by her opponents. The lingering question is how much importance Congress members will give to the president's message amid an atmosphere of distrust and opposition. Boluarte's administration will need to navigate this scenario carefully to maintain its legitimacy and secure the necessary support for its management. The recent resolution from the Public Ministry may be seen as a breath of fresh air, but it could also intensify calls for greater accountability for the decisions made during moments of crisis. Boluarte's political future and her ability to continue leading the country will largely depend on how she addresses the criticisms and social demands that persist. Managing public expectations and responding to the needs of the population becomes essential in this context, where the memory of the protests is still fresh in the minds of many Peruvians. Ultimately, the archiving of the genocide investigation does not mark the end of the questioning towards the president, but rather the beginning of a new chapter in a complex political landscape. The story of these protests and their consequences will continue to be a topic of debate and analysis, both in the judicial and political spheres, as the country attempts to find a path toward reconciliation and stability.
