Last Friday, diplomatic tensions between Peru And Mexico They developed into a new stage as a result of President Dina Boluarte’s decision to “finally” recall the Peruvian ambassador to Mexico, Manuel Talavera.

This decision was supported by statements by the President Andres Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) who once again came to the defense of the former president Pedro Castillo and derogatoryly described the Peruvian government.

In addition, on February 17, the President of Mexico announced his decision not to transfer the powers of the interim president pacific alliance in Peru, as it should be, given that the government of Dina Boluarte is “false”.

“I am going to instruct the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) to notify the members group of rivers what we do because I don’t want hand over (the presidency) to a government that I consider false. Let the members of the group decide,” he said at his press conference that day.

“There is a part of the population and the Mexican political opposition that (does not) understand (this decision) and demand that this presidency be transferred to its rightful holder, which is currently the Peruvian government,” he said in a statement. News extension.

In this sense, she believes that what has been said AMLO As for Peru, it has more to do with “rhetorical attributions” than with a real interest in what is happening in our country.

“It has much less to do with what happens in Peru and much more with the rhetorical powers that a president has not only at home but also abroad: to point out the problem of racism and classism that “conservatives” have with presidents that he believes come from a popular base” – he explained.

He also pointed out that part of the political opposition considers the removal of the Peruvian ambassador from Mexican soil a “danger”.

“Opposition in Mexico He pointed to the danger (in) the relationship between Mexico and Peru, a country that was an ally on more than just a commercial level.

What can Peru do if AMLO continues without giving up the interim presidency?

Diplomat and former Vice-Chancellor Eduardo Ponce de Vivancoin dialogue with RPP News, He believed that our country could assume the chairmanship of the Pacific Alliance without the need for it to be handed over by the Mexican government, since it was authorized by the framework agreement of the said international agreement.

“Framework agreement pacific alliance notes that the interim presidency rotates annually in alphabetical order. This framework agreement does not establish a procedure whereby whoever is president interim performs it. This is not a condition. The fact that the one who has it does not want to give it up does not mean that the one who has it according to the norm cannot use it,” he explained.

In this regard, he pointed out that an official notification from Peru to the member countries is sufficient to begin to perform the respective functions of an interim chairmanship.

“Peru should notify all members of the Alliance by diplomatic note that it has accepted an interim chairmanship in accordance with the terms of the Pacific Alliance Framework Agreement,” he said.
