Boluarte denies accusations regarding the "chest" amid growing controversy.

During the recent inauguration of a new educational institution in the district of Ate, President Dina Boluarte found herself embroiled in a media controversy as she denied accusations regarding the alleged use of the presidential vehicle, colloquially known as the "coffer," by the fugitive Vladimir Cerrón. The president, visibly irritable at the journalists' questions, described the versions suggesting that Cerrón might have escaped in said vehicle as "horror stories."

Boluarte expressed her discontent by stating that there is an effort by some media outlets to create a narrative based on fiction. "They are once again fabricating a doll without feet, arms, or heads, but a doll nonetheless," she said, criticizing the narrative that has emerged around the use of the "coffer." The president addressed the press with a mix of disbelief and frustration, inviting them to "create something smarter," instead of what she described as "Chucky stories with his girlfriend."

The controversy arises in a context where the whereabouts of Cerrón, leader of the party Perú Libre, are being investigated, as he has been in hiding for several months. Accusations against his administration have resurfaced, especially after a television program showed images of the presidential vehicle parked near a condominium in Asia, just as the police were conducting an operation to capture him.

This situation has intensified with the release of an audio that allegedly involves the current Minister of the Interior, Juan José Santivañez. In this recording, there is a reference to a possible attempt by Boluarte's government to protect Cerrón from justice, suggesting that the "coffer" could have been used to facilitate his escape. The implications of these statements have led to a climate of growing distrust towards Boluarte's administration.

In an attempt to clarify the situation, the president emphasized that the vehicle in question had never left the city of Lima. “The vehicle in question never left the jurisdiction of Lima,” she insisted, while the Government Palace classified information related to this car as "confidential," thus hindering transparency in the matter.

The president, in her defense, seems to be battling not only against accusations of complicity but also against what she considers a biased media campaign. In her speech, in addition to denying the accusations, Boluarte has been determined to shift the focus towards the achievements of her administration, such as the inauguration of new educational institutions.

However, many political analysts suggest that these defenses may not be enough to calm the fervor of public opinion, which is increasingly eager to know the truth behind the allegations. The situation of Cerrón, a controversial figure in Peruvian politics, has further heightened the tension between the government and the press, as civil society watches the events closely.

For their part, critics of Boluarte and the Perú Libre government have stated that the lack of transparency and opacity surrounding the information related to the "coffer" only fuels distrust. The situation raises questions about ethics and political responsibility in a government facing a landscape of increasing polarization and social discontent.

As investigations and accusations continue, the political future of Dina Boluarte and her administration remains in a delicate balance. For many Peruvians, the credibility of her government hangs by a thread, as the "coffer" scandal becomes a symbol of the tensions marking the country's current political landscape. The president, despite her assertions, appears to be navigating turbulent waters, where every statement and every fact are closely observed and analyzed.
