Summary
LIMA, July 3 (Reuters) - Peruvian President Dina Boluarte will double her salary to the equivalent of some $10,000 per month, angering many Peruvians who said the money would be better spent on alleviating poverty.
The economy minister announced late on Wednesday that the salary of Boluarte - whose approval ratings are among the lowest of any leader worldwide - had been increased to 35,568 soles ($10,067), about 30 times higher than Peru's minimum wage.
