Boluarte said this Friday in a message to the nation that “diplomatic relations between Peru and Mexico formally remain at the level of business managers“following his willingness to finally recall the Peruvian ambassador to the North American country.

“Mr. Lopez decided to support the coup given by the now former President Pedro Castillo on December 7, 2022, the same thing that caused the unanimous rejection of the institutions that make up the democratic order in Peru and the decision of the Congress of the Republic to release (remove) him from office. with the votes of 101 of its 130 parliamentarians,” Boluarte said.

The President confirmed that López Obrador “decided seriously affect the relationship of mutual respect, friendship, cooperation and willingness to integrate what historically united Peru and Mexico” and that it had a privileged “ideological similarity to the detriment” of integration processes that benefited both peoples.

“In his statements Mr. Lopez violates the principle of international law on non-intervention in internal affairsas well as those related to the defense and promotion of democracy,” Boluarte added.

This Friday, during his daily press conference, the President of Mexico reiterated that “Mexico will continue to support the unfairly and illegally dismissed President (Castillo) and will continue to demand his release. He can’t be in jail, that’s a big injustice“.

López Obrador once again called Boluarte a “fake president” and insisted that there was “a lot of racism and classism” behind Castillo’s dismissal, as well as “a lot of vested interests in Peru because it’s a country with a lot of natural resources.” and these natural resources are in great demand by large multinational companies.”
