Adrianzén's resignation marks the third such departure in Boluarte’s tenure and necessitates a complete cabinet overhaul, complicating an already turbulent political landscape. Under the constitutional framework of Peru, when the prime minister resigns, all ministers must also resign, prompting the president to appoint new officials for the roles which can only be filled post the appointment of a new prime minister.
The timing of this resignation is particularly precarious, as just prior to his announcement, President Boluarte had executed a cabinet shuffle, appointing new ministers for finance, interior, and transport — all of whom are now compelled to resign within mere hours of their swearing-in. Boluarte’s administration, having succeeded the impeached president Pedro Castillo, has come under increasing pressure from the public, which has taken to the streets, protesting against the escalating crime problem and demanding effective actions against extortion and violence from criminal gangs.
Recent demonstrations have featured citizens clad in white, voicing their demands for immediate government intervention to counter the rising tide of extortion and targeted killings. With discontent simmering among the populace, the resignation of Adrianzén serves as a critical juncture for Boluarte's presidency, pushing for immediate solutions at a time when public patience is wearing thin.
