Boluarte stopped a reporter's recording in France

Peruvian President Dina Boluarte abruptly stopped a reporter's recording at the Oceans Summit in Nice, France, refusing to be interviewed. Her security intervened to prevent further questioning. Boluarte's actions occurred during the summit's inauguration. Foreign Minister Elmer Schialer then offered to answer questions instead. He also indicated Peru might not immediately join a French initiative to ban bottom trawling. The incident highlights tensions between the Peruvian government and the press. The summit focuses on ocean conservation efforts and related international policies.
