The Peruvian president arrives tomorrow for a short and controversial trip to Europe

According to the report, the president will bring on the presidential plane a group of Peruvian tourists stranded in Israel due to the current conflict, who the plane evacuated after leaving the president in Rome.

The situation of these travelers was the subject of parliamentary and media complaints as well as criticism from citizens, who agreed that Boluarte should have arranged for the repatriation of the endangered compatriots in the early hours of last Thursday before starting the journey.

As Prime Minister Alberto Otárola reported yesterday, the president arranged the operation in Rome, where she welcomed Pope Francis and held a dialogue with Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and other Papal State authorities.

In the Italian capital he met with the director of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), QU Dongyu.

According to videos circulating on internet networks, Peruvians living in Italy protested his presence with placards and slogans blaming him for deaths during protests against his ascension to the presidency by succession.

Similar demonstrations took place yesterday during his visit to Germany, where he met with Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The trip has been the subject of controversy since its announcement and a significant number of MPs from various political groups voted against the unconditional approval of the trip by Parliament, which was achieved with a relative majority of less than half of the 130 members of Congress.

The critics’ arguments pointed out that the departure was unimportant since, apart from the meeting with the Pope, the president had no activities with the government of Italy and did not meet in Germany with the head of state, the highest authority, Olaf Scholz.

There was also criticism from journalists who considered the number of members of his entourage to be too high, and the weekly newspaper “Hildebrandt en sus Trece” revealed that the trip cost almost a million soles (more than $260,000), an amount that not high was considered high.
