Gustavo Lino Adrianzén Olaya (born 25 October 1966) is a Peruvian lawyer, politician and diplomat who is serving as the prime minister of Peru since March 2024.[1] Previously, he served as the 26th Permanent Representative of Peru to the Organization of American States from 2023 to 2024, and as well as the Minister of Justice and Human Rights under former President Ollanta Humala from April to October 2015.[1]
Having graduated in law from the University of Lima, Adrianzén pursued further studies at the University of Alcalá de Henares in Madrid. His academic journey included a focus on Human Rights in various international locations such as Geneva, Strasbourg, San José, and Florence. Additionally, he obtained a master's degree in Public Administration and Management from Madrid's INAP, along with a Diploma in Public Administration from the Complutense University, both located in the Spanish capital.[1]
Adrianzén began his political career in 2015 when he was appointed Deputy Minister of Justice and Human Rights.[2] Only two weeks later, on 2 April, he was appointed Minister of Justice and Human Rights, replacing Fredy Otárola.[3] In October, then Money Laundering Prosecutor Julia Príncipe claimed that Adrianzén tried to “gag” her by asking for explanations for her statements to the press regarding the investigations involving First Lady Nadine Heredia. Adrianzén was summoned to Congress to account for these allegations but resigned on 20 October[3] to avoid impeachment. Príncipe was also relieved of her position.[1]
He was appointed by president Dina Boluarte to the post of permanent representative of Peru to Organization of American States (OAS) on 23 February 2023. As ambassador, he expressed the "unwavering and unwavering commitment of the government and people of Peru to the values" of the OAS. He resigned in March 2024 following his appointment as prime minister by President Boluarte.[4]
On 6 March 2024, he was sworn in as Prime Minister of Peru, following the resignation of predecessor Alberto Otárola for his controversial involvement in the hiring of Yaziré Pinedo whom he referred to as "my love" at the Defense Ministry.[1]
