Overview
- Mexico’s Foreign Ministry rejected Peru’s congressional move as based on false premises and defended Chávez’s asylum as consistent with international law.
- Supreme Prosecutor Zoraida Ávalos asked Judge Juan Carlos Checkley to revoke Chávez’s restricted release and impose preventive detention, citing missed biometric checks and four absences from hearings.
- The court set a hearing for November 13 on the detention request, while Chávez remains inside Mexico’s embassy in Lima.
- Peru’s executive approved a safe‑conduct for Chávez’s departure, but it cannot be executed while judicial restrictions remain in force.
- Congress’s Subcommission backed a 10‑year ban from public office for Chávez, as regional reactions split, with Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro defending asylum and a Mexican opposition senator calling it a cover‑up.
