López Obrador declared persona non grata in Peru

The president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, called her Mexican counterpart Andrés Manuel López Obrador "ignorant", while Obrador reiterated that she does not accept Boluarte's mandate, which she describes as "usurper". This is a new chapter in the tense relationship between Mexico and Peru since former president Pedro Castillo was removed from the Executive and placed in pretrial detention for alleged corruption, a measure criticized by several leftist leaders in the region, including López Obrador.

Relations between Lima and Mexico City are getting colder and colder. This Friday, May 26, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador declared that his government does not want to have commercial or economic ties with Peru while Dina Boluarte remains in power. For the Mexican leader, the president is a "usurper" of the Presidency.

"As long as there is no democratic normality in Peru, we do not want economic or commercial relations with them," López Obrador said.

The Peruvian president responded to Obrador and called him "very ignorant given the intelligence of the Mexican people," at a press conference in Lima.
