Peru's Prime Minister Gustavo Adrianzén urged his countrymen to hush down the political noise that erupted following the decision by the credit rating agency Standard 6 Poor (S&P) to downgrade the South American country from BBB to BBB-.
Peru's Congress gave President Dina Boluarte and her new cabinet a vote of confidence by 70 votes in favor, 38 against, and 17 abstentions while the head of state is still under investigation for what has been dubbed “The Rolexgate,” a scandal consisting of her wearing undeclared pricy wristwatches which prosecutors believe to be proof of illicit enrichment.
President Dina Boluarte's home in the Lima district of Surquillo was raided late Friday by the Police who went on to the Executive Branch's headquarters in the early hours of Saturday to carry out a search-and-size warrant granted by a Supreme Court magistrate to Attorney General Juan Villena.
