Peru has declared Mexico’s ambassador to Lima a persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country in 72 hours.
The country’s foreign minister announced that the abrupt order came after Mexican ambassador, Pablo Monroy, revealed that his country had granted asylum to the family of former president Pedro Castillo.
The Minister noted that the ejection of Monroy was due to repeated statements from the highest authorities of that country regarding the political situation in Peru.
Mexico’s foreign minister Marcelo Ebrard said the expulsion was unjustified and reprehensible.
