Government Declares Mexican Ambassador in Peru Persona Non Grata (El Comercio [Spanish] - 12/20/2022)

Government Declares Mexican Ambassador in Peru Persona Non Grata

The foreign minister pointed out that this decision was made due to the "repeated expressions of the highest authorities of that country about the political situation in Peru, which constitute interference in our internal affairs."


In the midst of the asylum granted to the family of former President Pedro Castillo, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ana Cecilia Gervasi, announced that the Government declared the Mexican Ambassador to Peru, Pablo Monroy, persona non grata for the "repeated expressions of the most high authorities of that country on the political situation in Peru, which constitute interference in our internal affairs and, therefore, are in violation of the principle of non-intervention”.

At a press conference, the foreign minister said that Ambassador has been given a diplomatic note to notify him that he has 72 hours to leave Peru.

“This decision has been taken based on the pertinent provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations”, Gervasi said.

The Case

The Foreign Minister of Mexico, Marcelo Ebrard, confirmed that his country granted political asylum to the former first lady Lilia Paredes and her two children, who are minors. He explained that the wife of former president Pedro Castillo is in the Mexican embassy in Lima and said that they are negotiating a safe-conduct so that they can leave the country if they wish.
