Peruvian Prime Minister Resigns Amidst Miner Deaths Controversy

Peruvian Prime Minister Gustavo Adrianzén's resignation sends shockwaves through the nation. The unexpected announcement on May 14, 2025, followed days of intense scrutiny over his handling of the tragic deaths of 13 miners in Pataz. His downplaying of the incident fueled widespread outrage and a looming no-confidence vote in Congress. President Dina Boluarte swiftly accepted his resignation, along with the resignations of all his ministers. The Fuerza Popular party's declaration of support for the censure motion further weakened Adrianzén's position. In his farewell message, Adrianzén expressed gratitude to President Boluarte and affirmed his continued commitment to the country. The nation now awaits the appointment of a new Prime Minister amidst a tense political climate.
