US EditionPeruvian Congress votes to declare Mexico’s president persona non grata after asylum offer
Peru's Congress voted 63-33 to declare Sheinbaum persona non grata after Mexico granted asylum to Betssy Chávez, accused of a 2022 coup attempt, escalating diplomatic tensions.
- On Nov 6, Peru's Congress declared Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata, marking a formal rebuke amid a diplomatic row in Lima, Peru.
- Mexico granted asylum to former Peruvian prime minister Betssy Chávez after she fled to the Mexican embassy in Lima, where she remains sheltering, prompting Peru to sever ties over the perceived `unfriendly act`.
- The parliamentary motion passed with 63 votes in favor, 34 against and two absentees after prolonged debate in which MPs accused Sheinbaum of interference and unproven drug ties, while Fernando Rospigliosi, President of Peru's Congress, backed breaking relations.
- Peru is reviewing legal options under the 1954 Caracas Convention, with a final decision on safe passage for Chávez expected by the end of the week, while Mexico's top diplomat in Peru faces a strict deadline to leave, amid efforts to limit economic damage from trade ties worth more than $2.5 billion.
- The dispute raises wider regional stakes as Chávez faces prosecution with Peruvian prosecutors seeking a 25-year sentence, and tensions risk hardening ties with the Pacific Alliance and Ecuador.
