The Spin
Government-critical narrative
This is a regrettable decision that mocks criminal investigation efficiency and favors pro-corruption impunity because time erases crucial evidence. As Dina Boluarte controls the police apparatus and has power over the crime scene, fair prosecution is nearly impossible when investigations resume in 2026.
Pro-government narrative
The Constitutional Court made the right call, protecting presidential authority and governance stability. This ruling doesn't create impunity, but rather reasserts a historical constitutional interpretation that prevents political investigations from undermining executive power during a president's term.
