Pedro Miguel Angulo Arana (born 5 February 1960) is a Peruvian lawyer who served as

prime minister of Peru under the presidency of Dina Boluarte, from 10 to 21 December 2022.[1][2]

Education

Angulo Arana obtained his bachelor's degree in communication sciences from the Federico Villarreal National University, later obtaining a master's degree and a doctorate in law from the National University of San Marcos.[3]

Political career

Prior to his appointment as prime minister of Peru, Angulo served as a senior prosecutor for the Public Prosecutor's Office.[4] In November 2020, he was selected as the presidential nominee for the right-wing Contigo party for the 2021 Peruvian general election, but was unable to register on time for the election.[4]

On 10 December 2022, Angulo was sworn in as Prime Minister of Peru by president Dina Boluarte.[4] He was succeeded by Alberto Otárola on 21 December.[2]

Controversy

In 2006, the

International Freedom of Expression Exchange (IFEX) criticized Angulo's actions serving as state prosecutor when he charged a journalist with withholding evidence, with IFEX stating that the journalist's actions were not a crime under Peruvian law and that he was attempting to broadcast alleged recordings of National Intelligence Council chief César Almeyda blackmailing Óscar Villanueva, a general.[5]

According to

La República wrote that Prime Minister Angulo faces allegations of sexual harassment of women assistants and supporting the actions of César Hinostroza, who illegally asked for favors from magistrate María Apaza and fled from Peru.[4]
