10 ministers headed the minister under the governments of Pedro Castillo and Dina Boluarte

Crisis. One of the main problems of the government of Pedro Castillo were the many appointments of ministers. In 495 daysthe former president appointed more than 78 Ministers of State. The portfolio most affected by this situation is the Minister of the Interiorwith a total of 7 holders. According to an analysis developed by GlobeLiveMediaPresident To Boluarte retains the same characteristic: in nearly three months, he has designated a total of 3 officials in the Minister.

The beginning of the president’s governmental period was divisive. The social mobilizations and the intensity with which they developed required good crisis management on the part of fundamental institutions such as the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defence. However, the length of stay of each of them does not amount to a month and a half of work.

Mininter’s first title was Caesar Augusto Cervantes Cardenas and was sworn in on December 10, 2022. However, protests have taken to the streets in parts of the country and a series of embezzlements by the police have been exposed, forcing Boluarte to change the ministerial cabinet to build confidence in the population. After 11 days, the president was sworn in to a new team of ministers. Among them was a new Mininter chief: Victor Eduardo Rojas Herrera.

As the days go by, Peru it recorded a high death toll of protesters in social mobilizations. According to human rights organizations, many deaths were caused by the misuse of excessive force by the PNP. These denunciations were reinforced by statements by Rojas in favor of police repression and his attempts to justify violence by police authorities. “They instigated and it couldn’t be controlled,” he told a news conference.

These complaints reached the Congress of the Republic and prompted left-wing groups to present a motion of interpellation against Rojas Herrera after the more than 20 deaths recorded. The then interior minister submitted his letter of resignation on January 13. Since then, the portfolio has been headed by retired General of the Peruvian National Police (PNP), Vincent Romero Fernandez.

Since the government of To Boluarte, the Head of State appointed a total of two ministerial cabinets. The first of them was sworn in on December 10 and was responsible for Pedro Miguel Angulo Arana. His appointment drew criticism for having 13 tax investigations and harassment complaints. However, the formation of this ministerial team also came with strong rejection for its violent response to the marches against the social crisis.

Office Angle It only lasted 11 days. On December 21, the President announced the formation of a new ministerial team led by Alberto Otarolaa decision that was questioned because it was a civil servant who ran the Department of Defense when cases of abuse of authority, excessive use of force and violation of human rights by soldiers in charge of controlling social mobilizations throughout the country were denounced.

To date, the firm Otarola stay in government To Boluarte. However, five incumbents resigned from the post of Minister of Labor and Promotion of Employment, Education, Women and Vulnerable Populations, Interior and Culture.

The first ministerial cabinet of To Boluarte she was sworn in on December 10, 2022, three days after her swearing in as President of the Republic. In almost three months of being in power, the management of the ministries and their heads seems to be similar to the government of Terrones Castle. During Professor Chotano’s period, from August to October, the President made a total of 27 changes in the various portfolios. In the case of the current head of state, there have been 28 changes in portfolio holders.

Another similar characteristic of the two presidential terms is the number of cabinets that took the oath. At the time mentioned, Pedro Castillo he swore in a total of two cabinets. The first of these on July 30, 2022 and was led by Guido Bellido, also a member of the Congress of Free Peru. After two months, the former president decided to set up a new firm headed by the lawyer Mirtha Vasquez.

The first office of To Boluarte was sworn in on December 10, 2022 and was chaired by Pedro Angulo. After only 11 days of rule, the first authority of Peru announced the formation of a second cabinet, which would be led by the former Minister of Defense, Alberto Otarola.

The Ministry of the Interior also plays an important role in this analysis. In both governments, this portfolio has been challenged by the constant changes in its holders. During the first three months of Castillo Terrones’ tenure, the sovereign appointed two officials: Juan Carrasco Millions there Luis Roberto Barranzuela. The first of them held the post of head of the Mininter for just over two months, while the second remained in power for less than a month.

The total number of resignations presented in the first months of the two governments is similar. The President of the Republic has received a total of five resignations from members of her cabinet, most of them correspond to the team Otarola. A similar situation occurred in the first months of the presidential administration of Pedro Castillo. The leftist witnessed and approved two resignations from the posts of chancellor and leader of the Minister. The first resignation came after only 15 days in office.

But, just as there were similarities, differences were also pointed out. Ministerial teams To Boluarte away from groups Castle in the gender quota. Initially, the firm bellido He was harshly criticized for the low percentage of women who were part of the ministerial team. Out of 19 civil servants, only 2 were women. This figure has increased in the firm of Mirtha Vasquezwhere there were a total of 5 women.

On the contrary, the government of To Boluarte actively included the participation of women. 58% of the civil servants who made up the ministerial cabinets were women. However, none of them headed the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM).
