The plenary session of the Congress adopted the proposal to interrogate Foreign Minister Ana Cecilia Gervasi.

With 44 votes in favour, 71 against and 2 abstentions, the plenary session of the Congress approved the initiative of Peru Libre, Bloque Magisterial, Peru Bicentennial, Peru Democrático and Cambio Democrático, which proposes to summon Foreign Minister Ana Cecilia Gervasi. The petition’s interpellation document specifies that the chancellor must respond, among other things, to the expulsion of the Mexican ambassador to Peru, Pablo Monroy.

“The interpellation petition has been accepted. It will be agreed with the Minister of Foreign Affairs to determine the date when it will go to Congress,” Parliament Speaker Jose Williams said.

The document presented to the Legislative Assembly indicates that the decision to oust Pablo Monroy was arbitrary because it could jeopardize diplomatic relations with the Mexican government and its president, Manuel Andrés López Obrador.
