Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Is Declared Persona Non Grata in Peru
Peru’s congress has declared Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata, days after her administration granted asylum to a former prime minister who’s hiding in a diplomatic residence in Lima.
Sheinbaum has been a supporter of ousted left-wing Peruvian President Pedro Castillo, who stands accused of staging a coup d’etat against his own government in order to stay in power and avoid impeachment in 2022. The plot failed and he was arrested and is currently in jail while standing trial, but his wife, Lilia Paredes, fled to the Mexican Embassy where she was granted asylum and later fled there.
