Peru’s unpopular president gives herself a huge pay raise ...Middle East

The 63-year-old head of state, who faces protests against an explosion of gang violence in the country, will now receive the equivalent of $10,000 per month, according to an official decree.

Economy Minister Raul Perez-Reyes said the new salary figure was determined after a comparison with the salaries of heads of state from twelve Latin American countries.

With Boluarte’s approval rating hovering around 2 percent in May, the announcement did not go over well.

According to former Economy Minister Luis Miguel Castilla, the measure “reinforces the impression of frivolity” surrounding the president.

She is the target of a dozen probes, including one for her alleged failure to declare gifts of luxury jewels and watches, a scandal inevitably dubbed “Rolexgate.”
