This footage was filmed and produced 22 January 2023.

Boluarte remained for 90 minutes at the headquarters of the public ministry, where he appeared before the attorney general, Patricia Benavides, and her deputy Carlos Huamán.

The president, a 61-year-old lawyer, left the scene without giving statements and protected by a strong police contingent that prevented journalists from accessing her.

"We have attended and declared," presidential lawyer Joseph Campos told the press, adding that the president had given "statements to control the situation, public order, respecting fundamental rights," he said.

The Prosecutor's Office is trying to determine Boluarte's responsibility in the repression of anti-government demonstrations in the Apurímac, La Libertad, Puno, Junín, Arequipa and Ayacucho regions.

In the event of an accusation, the president cannot be put on trial until July 2026, when her term ends, as established by the Constitution.

SHOTLIST:
1. Various protests in Arequipa (January 22, 2023);
2. Various protests in Lima (January 22, 2023).
