Peru's Top Judge Declines Vatican Trip Invitation from President Boluarte

Lima, Peru – In a surprising turn of events, Peruvian President Dina Boluarte's invitation to the head of the Judicial Power, Janet Tello, to attend the papal enthronement in Vatican City has been declined. Tello, in a statement released on social media platform X, expressed her gratitude for the invitation but cited prior international commitments as the reason for her inability to attend. This development follows Boluarte's request to the Peruvian Congress for authorization to make an official visit to the Vatican from May 16th to 19th. The Congress is expected to review the request. The incident highlights the complex political dynamics within Peru and the ongoing relationship between the executive and judicial branches.
