New Prime Minister

The President of the Republic Pedro Castillo on Friday afternoon administered the oath of office to Betssy Chavez, who has become the new Prime Minister of Peru.

Thus, the 33-year-old Congresswoman replaced resigning Prime Minister Anibal Torres in the post.

During previous months, Chavez served as Minister of Culture and Labor-Employment Promotion. Her participation in this latter sector ended in May 2022 —after Congress approved a censure motion against her.

Later, in August, the parliamentarian was appointed Culture sector's head, replacing Alejandro Salas in that post.
