Mexico City. Referring to the impeachment of Peruvian President Dina Boluarte by the Peruvian Congress, Chief Executive Claudia Sheinbaum recalled that she came to office by a decision of legislators, but that in Mexico it was actually considered a coup d’état against President Pedro Castillo. On this occasion, she said, Boluarte’s removal was a unanimous vote of the Peruvian Congress.
In this context, during his press conference, she expressed his solidarity with Castillo and reaffirmed the Mexican government’s position that he be released in his country.
On another note, regarding the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan politician María Corina, he simply commented that Mexico has always defended the sovereignty and self-determination of its peoples, and “that’s where my comment will end.”
