LIMA, Peru — José María Balcázar was sworn in as Peru’s new president on Sunday, following the resignation of his predecessor. This marks the country’s eighth change in leadership within a decade.
Balcázar took office after serving as the head of the opposition party and is expected to prioritize economic reform and addressing corruption.
Peru has been plagued by political instability since 2011, with eight different presidents taking power. The country is also struggling economically, with high inflation rates and a large trade deficit.
Balcázar’s inauguration marks a new chapter for Peru, but many challenges lie ahead.
