Peru Congressional Panel Backs Move to Declare Mexico’s Sheinbaum Persona Non Grata

Plenary ratification now looms following Sheinbaum’s defense of her meeting with Pedro Castillo’s lawyer.

Overview

  • Peru’s Congressional Foreign Relations Commission approved the motion 12–6, sending the proposal to the full Congress for a final vote.
  • If ratified, the decision would be communicated through Peru’s Foreign Ministry via diplomatic channels as a formal censure.
  • Promoters Ernesto Bustamante, Patricia Juárez and María del Carmen Alva argue Sheinbaum showed hostile conduct by calling Pedro Castillo Peru’s legitimate president and urging his release.
  • Opposition voices in the chamber contend her remarks were personal opinions rather than official interference under diplomatic norms.
  • Sheinbaum responded that receiving Castillo’s lawyer was not an aggression and said Mexico will maintain its position that Castillo is unjustly imprisoned.
