After winning the general elections, Pedro Castillo assumed the presidency of Peru on July 28, 2021. For presidential activities, as well as meetings and trips within the country, the president opted for a distinctive style of dress: a large straw hat and, on some occasions, a poncho in the Cajamarca style, a style typical of his region of origin. A symbolic swearing-in ceremony was held shortly thereafter in the Pampa de la Quinua, Ayacucho, where he presented his first cabinet. From the beginning of his administration, his ministers faced criticism for various reasons: inexperience, a lack of the appropriate qualifications for their positions, and alleged criminal ties. These and other factors proved to be the breaking point for Castillo. His government was marked by numerous protests. Large marches were reported in Lima and other provinces, demanding the fulfillment of their grievances and the president's resignation. Protesters and police clashed in a pitched battle, resulting in several injuries on both sides and arbitrary arrests. Pedro Castillo was summoned to the Public Prosecutor's Office several times. The Prosecutor's Office formally accused him, through a constitutional complaint, of belonging to a criminal organization operating within his government. In his second address to the nation from the Congress of the Republic, Castillo announced hundreds of solutions to the country's problems. This generated discontent among several members of Congress, and consequently, the solemn event ended with boos directed at the president.
