LIMA, May 26 (NNN-ANDINA) — During a plenary session at the Congress of the Republic on Thursday, most lawmakers approved the motion that proposes declaring\u00a0Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador<\/a>\u00a0a persona non grata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motion No. 6513 received 65 votes in favor, 40 against, and 2 abstentions.<\/strong>\u00a0The initiative had been submitted by Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said document rejects the statements made by\u00a0Mexico’s Head of State regarding the political situation in Peru<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0government succession, by President Dina Boluarte<\/a>, following a\u00a0failed coup d’\u00e9tat attempted by ex-President Pedro Castillo on Dec 7, 2022.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In previous days,\u00a0Lopez Obrador<\/a>\u00a0deemed Peruvian President Boluarte as a \u201cusurper,”\u00a0after he refused to hand over the Pacific Alliance Pro-Tempore Presidency to Peru.\u00a0<\/a>

Congress Foreign Affairs Commission Chairwoman Maricarmen Alva<\/a>\u00a0pointed out that this tense situation\u00a0with Mexico’s President is aggravated due to the refusal to hand over the bloc’s Pro-Tempore Presidency to Peru.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The problem here is that President Manuel Lopez Obrador does not recognize President Boluarte, our Congress, and he does not want to hand over the Pacific Alliance Pro-tempore Presidency to us,”\u00a0she expressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motion prompted the participation of various parliamentarians, who expressed their arguments both against and in favor of the aforementioned measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, participation by parliamentarians from\u00a0Acci\u00f3n Popular (Popular Action), Fuerza Popular (Popular Force), and Somos Per\u00fa (We Are Peru)<\/strong>\u00a0benches stood out.\u00a0They were in favor of the motion, stating that attitudes which affect the country’s image at international forums cannot be accepted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, parliamentarians from the\u00a0Cambio Democr\u00e1tico – Juntos por el Per\u00fa (Democratic Change \u2013 Together for Peru) and Per\u00fa Bicentenario (Bicentennial Peru) benches<\/strong>\u00a0expressed their\u00a0opinion against said measure because they deemed as unnecessary to respond to each comment by foreign authorities and discuss measures that will not have major legal implications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, some Congress members, who also participated in the debate, called on the\u00a0Peruvian Foreign Affairs Ministry\u00a0<\/a>to attend to the relations that Peru maintains with neighboring countries and the Pacific Alliance Pro-Tempore Presidency. — NNN-ANDINA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
