00:00 In a surprising turn of events, Peruvian Prime Minister Alberto Oteralo announced his resignation
00:08 on Tuesday, following the emergence of an audio recording allegedly implicating him
00:13 in unethical conduct regarding government contracts.
00:17 Oteralo stated that the recording, purportedly from 2021 before his tenure as a government
00:23 official, was manipulated and edited as part of a conspiracy by his political adversaries.
00:30 The audio, leaked by local media, features Oteralo conversing with a woman who later
00:35 held government positions.
00:37 Oteralo abruptly cut short his trip to Canada upon the revolution of the audio.
00:42 Earlier in the day, Foreign Minister Javier Gonzalez hinted at forthcoming changes in
00:48 the cabinet signalling a "re-launch of the government's general policy" by President
00:53 Dina Bollarte.
00:55 Cabinet shake-ups have become routine in Peru, with Bollarte recently replacing four ministers,
01:01 including key economic and mining heads, as part of efforts to revive the nation's struggling
01:06 economy amid recession.
