¿Quién es José Jerí, el presidente de Perú destituido por el Congreso tras solo cuatro meses en el cargo?

Eran los primeros minutos del 10 de octubre pasado cuando José Jerí, hasta entonces presidente del Congreso de Perú, asumió la presidencia del país sudamericano. Momentos antes, el propio Congreso había destituido a Dina Boluarte como jefa de Estado, tras considerar que tenía “incapacidad moral permanente” para seguir en el cargo luego de una serie de escándalos y críticas a su gestión.

Durante su primer discurso, Jerí prometió priorizar al combate a la inseguridad pública —una de las principales preocupaciones entre los peruanos y motivo de fuertes cuestionamientos hacia Boluarte— y dar pasos para resolver lo que definió como “una crisis política constante que pareciera no tener fin”, marcada por “gobiernos que no terminan su mandato, instituciones debilitadas y una ciudadanía cansada”.

Jerí, sin embargo, no pudo cumplir esas promesas. A poco más de cuatro meses de que asumiera la presidencia, el Congreso aprobó este martes censurarlo, con lo que perdió su condición de cabeza del Parlamento y, en automático, de titular del Ejecutivo. Con ello, Jerí se convirtió en el quinto mandatario removido por el Parlamento en este siglo, luego de Alberto Fujimori, Martín Vizcarra, Pedro Castillo y Dina Boluarte.

La censura se produjo luego de semanas de cuestionamientos a Jerí por reuniones que tuvo con el empresario chino Zhihua Yang, fuera de su agenda oficial, a fines de diciembre y comienzos de enero.

Estos encuentros en un restaurante y una tienda de Yang, que se tornaron en un escándalo conocido como “chifagate”, generaron una investigación de la Fiscalía y dudas sobre la posible injerencia de Yang en decisiones y contratos de gobierno, algo que Jerí rechazó ante el Congreso y en entrevistas con medios. En varias oportunidades, el destituido mandatario negó haber cometido algún acto indebido, aunque se disculpó por la forma en la que se reunió con Yang.

“Es preciso señalar que ni ese día u otro me ha solicitado algún tipo de pedido o apoyo o que interceda por él o por terceros”, dijo Jerí en un video publicado el 18 de enero en la cuenta de X de la Presidencia de Perú.

“Una de las cosas que aprendí en mi casa y que define mi personalidad es que hay que saber reconocer los errores y saber pedir disculpas. Por ello, a todo peruano que me está viendo en este momento, admito mi error y pido las disculpas públicas por haber ingresado de la manera que lo hice, encapuchado, y que ello haya dado pie a generar suspicacias y dudas sobre mi comportamiento”, agregó entonces.

En medio de la discusión en el Congreso este martes, una fuente de la Fiscalía dijo a CNN que la institución abrió otra investigación a Jerí por posible tráfico de influencias agravado por la contratación de nueve mujeres en el Palacio de Gobierno durante los últimos meses.

CNN contactó a Jerí para pedir comentarios y espera respuesta.

Jerí, abogado de 39 años, fue el octavo presidente de Perú en solo 10 años. Ollanta Humala, quien gobernó de 2011 a 2016, fue el último mandatario que logró tener un período completo. Su sucesor, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, renunció al cargo en 2018, mientras que Martín Vizcarra fue destituido por el Congreso en 2020. A continuación siguieron las presidencias

Peru’s President José Jerí ousted, marking eighth change in leader in less than a decade

By CNN staff

(CNN) — Peru’s president has been ousted after being censured by Congress, marking the country’s eighth change of leader in nearly a decade of political instability.

Peru’s Congress approved a motion of censure against José Jerí by 75 votes to 24 in a move that came just four months after he took office as interim president and two months before an expected general election.

The vote follows accusations that Jerí had held unofficial meetings with Chinese businesspeople, on one occasion while wearing a hood, which led to an investigation by the Attorney General’s Office for possible illegal sponsorship and aggravated influence peddling.

“The presiding officers declare the office of President of the Congress of the Republic vacant, and consequently, the office of President of the Republic is vacant,” said Fernando Rospigliosi, acting head of Congress.

The various political blocs will now meet to agree a list of candidates for President of Congress, for a legislative vote that will determine the next interim president.

Jerí, 39, assumed the presidency in October after becoming Speaker of Congress when President Dina Boluarte was impeached. Boluarte had led the executive branch since the 2022 impeachment and arrest of Pedro Castillo, who served for a year and a half.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
