LIMA (Reuters) – Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Tuesday shook up her cabinet, again swapping out the Andean nation’s economy minister after just a few months.

Jose Salardi had assumed the post in January. He was replaced by Transportation Minister Raul Perez in a public ceremony.

Boluarte also replaced Interior Minister Julio Diaz, whose stint as minister lasted less than two months, with Carlos Malaver, who previously headed the ministry’s anti-crime division.
