Peru’s Foreign Affairs Committee Backs Motion to Declare Mexico’s Sheinbaum Persona Non Grata

Lawmakers say her support for Pedro Castillo amounts to interference in Peru’s internal affairs.

Overview

  • Peru’s congressional foreign-relations panel approved the proposal 12–6, advancing it to the full Congress for ratification or shelving.
  • The motion, introduced by Ernesto Bustamante, Patricia Juárez and Maricarmen Alva, follows Sheinbaum’s comments calling Pedro Castillo the “legitimate president” and urging his release.
  • The committee agreed to send the decision to the Foreign Ministry for diplomatic notification, so any practical effects depend on subsequent steps.
  • Backers frame the move as a defense of sovereignty and cite a break with Mexico’s non‑interventionist Estrada Doctrine, while opponents argue Sheinbaum voiced personal opinions, not official interference.
  • The dispute escalated after Sheinbaum met Castillo’s lawyer, Guido Croxatto, on Aug. 29, against the backdrop of strains dating to Castillo’s 2022 ouster and prior Peruvian persona non grata declarations.
