Mexico invited Putin to the presidential inauguration – media

The media note that the country once signed the Rome Charter, so it is subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC, which issued an arrest warrant for the Kremlin leader.

Mexico has invited the head of the ruling regime of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to the inauguration of the country’s newly elected president, Claudia Sheinbaum, which will take place on October 1. This was reported by the Russian pro-government newspaper Izvestia in connection at the Mexican Embassy in Russia.

“(The head of the Kremlin) will decide whether he will participate in the ceremony himself or appoint another high-ranking official to do so on his behalf,” the diplomatic mission said.

The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs, commenting on this information, said that the government has sent diplomatic notes to all countries with which it has relations, as well as international organizations of which it is a member. , with an invitation to Sheinbaum’s inauguration, the Reuters news agency notes.

However, Mexico signed the Rome Statute in 2005. It is therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

As you know, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin in 2023, accusing him of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine, and now the Russian leader can be imprisoned for all countries that ratified the Charter of Rome.

The Mexican Foreign Ministry did not respond to the news agency’s question about how Mexico’s membership in the ICC would affect Putin’s possible presence at Sheinbaum’s inauguration.

Let’s recall that last year it became known that Russians arriving in Mexico were increasingly facing entry bans and deportation. Mexican border guards have begun to more strictly check the documents of Russians entering the country.
