The article describes Dina Boluarte as Peru’s “unelected president” — but a different description would be that she was vice-president at the time that president Pedro Castillo attempted a failed self-coup to elevate himself from president to dictator, and was then impeached & removed by Congress.

As a US citizen, I have to wonder if there’s an analogy there with Mike Pence, who was VP to president Donald Trump but did not cooperate in Trump’s attempted self-coup on January 6 2021. Pence’s non-cooperation arguably saved the US from a Trump dictatorship.

Peruvians, or other folks who know more about Peruvian politics — is that an entirely terrible analogy?
