Peru's president comes clean over nose job controversy

LIMA - Peru's Peruvian President Dina Boluarte has finally come clean about where she was when she disappeared for nearly two weeks in June and July.

She was having a nose job. But not a cosmetic one, she insisted.

Some lawmakers have called for her to be removed from office for not delegating her powers nor informing the public about her absence.

But Boluarte hit back, saying the "indispensable" surgery was to help her breath, and that she had been assured it would not impede her ability to carry out her duties.

Boluarte does not have her own party in Congress and has a disapproval rating of nearly 95 percent. Her term ends in July 2026.
