A group of journalists was cordoned off by the security of Peruvian President Dina Boluarte during her visit to the construction site of the Chancay port terminal. RT reported this on June 16.
It should be noted that Boluarte continues to remain silent for more than two months, without giving press conferences or comments in the media after the scandal caused by the “Rolex Affair.” The other day, June 14, during Boluarte’s visit to the Chancay port terminal works, another incident occurred with the press when journalists present at the event were cordoned off by security guards from the Presidency so that they could not ask him questions. and the ministers.
“State security surrounded journalists on both sides when they tried to approach authorities to interview them, so they couldn’t leave.”says the message.
The event in Cancay was also attended by the current head of Government, Gustavo Adriansen, and the Minister of Transport and Communications, Raúl Pérez.
Upon learning of this situation, the Press and Society Institute (IPYS) expressed its disagreement with the obstruction of obtaining information about the activities of the President of the Republic.
“This practice has become systematic and harms the work of the press by preventing access to information of public interest.””, reported the press institute.
As we remember, thanks to her long silence, President Dina Boluarte has already accumulated more than two months since the last time she responded to questions from the press about her various topics, including the “Rolex Affair” and her low disapproval in the polls.
Let us remember that on May 31, during the National Multireligious Exercise 2024 at the National Emergency Operations Center, journalists were not allowed to approach the President of Peru.
“Once the event on the first and second floor was over, the journalists were invited to the auditorium of the National Civil Defense Institute to avoid their interference in the president’s work. However, since journalists covering this event were dissatisfied, appropriate corrective measures were taken.”the Peruvian Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
The journalists did not like that they were not allowed to speak with the president, so through social networks they said that they locked them up so that they would not interact with the president.
On another occasion, on June 4, Boluarte participated in the inauguration of a school, accompanied by strong security measures, including snipers, without allowing anyone to approach her, which constituted an unprecedented event in the modern history of Peru. .
It should be noted that since March the scandal caused by the discovery of Boluarte’s wealth has not subsided in Peru. We’re talking expensive Rolex watches and gold bracelets with diamonds that she didn’t declare. Peruvian prosecutors are conducting a preliminary investigation into Boluarte after she was found to be wearing a Rolex watch and other undeclared luxury jewelry. The accusation alleges that the governor of Ayacucho, Wilfredo Oscorima, gave the decorations to Boluarte in exchange for the enormous emergency resources that the president had approved for his region.
