Peru Prime Minister Resigns After Backlash From Cabinet Reshuffle

Peru’s prime minister resigned on Tuesday evening after a last-ditch attempt at a cabinet reshuffle did not placate opposition lawmakers who demanded his ouster.
Gustavo Adrianzen announced his resignation in a nationwide address just hours after unpopular President Dina Boluarte had sworn in new ministers, including a new finance chief. All other ministers must resign alongside Adrianzen, including those named earlier on Tuesday, although Boluarte may rename them to their posts as long as she appoints a new prime minister.
