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 situation suggests a severe governance crisis in Pataz, with local officials demanding real development and questioning the president's response to urgent security needs.
