The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte has arrived at Parliament headquarters to deliver her Address to the Nation on the occasion of Peru's 202nd Independence Day Anniversary.

Upon arrival, the Head of State was welcomed with high honors by the Armed Forces.

Previously, President Boluarte attended the Mass and Te Deum, along with State ministers and high-ranking authorities.


Within this framework, the top official's message to the nation is expected to address the state of the country and issue main announcements for the coming year exercising power. 

The Presidential Independence Day Speech is —without any doubt— the most important activity on the occasion.


Independence Day

Liberator Jose de San Martin proclaimed the independence of Peru from Spain on July 28, 1821.

Thus, this day serves to commemorate the nation's independence.

The independence process successfully came to an end with the Battle of Ayacucho in December 1824.
