Peru President Boluarte accused of falsely promising investigation into Pataz miner massacre amid illegal mining crisis

  • Peru President Dina Boluarte is being accused of breaking a private promise to thoroughly look into the deaths of 13 miners in Pataz, amid ongoing issues with illegal mining in the region.
  • The accusation follows a private meeting where Boluarte agreed to investigate, but she publicly announced ineffective continued measures without mentioning an inquiry.
  • Thirteen miners who were kidnapped and killed by illegal miners could not be transported for medical care because ambulances were out of service, there were no hospitals nearby, and the roads were unpaved in the province.
  • Public approval of President Boluarte has plummeted to 94 percent as Interior Minister Walter Ortiz conceded that the current state of emergency is failing to control the situation, prompting the government to consider imposing a state of siege.
  • The situation suggests a severe governance crisis in Pataz, with local officials demanding real development and questioning the president's response to urgent security needs.
