Carlos Díaz Dañino served as the Minister of Defense of Peru from March 17, 2026, until his departure on April 22, 2026. There are no reports in the provided documents of scandals, corruption, fraud, bribery, or ethics violations involving his career. His tenure ended following an irrevocable resignation and subsequent removal by President José María Balcázar. This conflict stemmed from a substantive disagreement regarding the government's decision to postpone the state-authorized procurement of 24 F-16 fighter aircraft, a move Díaz Dañino argued could compromise national interests and security.
