Mexico is analyzing the request for asylum requested by former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo, who was dismissed last Wednesday for moral incapacity.
Castillo had tried to dissolve Congress, a situation that he could not carry out because the constitutional conditions were not met. This was a measure before a vacancy request was discussed. Finally Parliament made the decision to dismiss him.

Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard announced that the former president had ratified his request before the Mexican ambassador to Peru, Pablo Monroy during a visit to the prison.
“We have proceeded to initiate consultations with the Peruvian authorities. I will keep you informed,” Ebrard said.
In the request presented by Castillo’s lawyer, it is indicated that he suffers unfounded persecution by judicial bodies “that have taken on a political character in their actions with respect to that person, to such an extent that they intend to prosecute him for mere announcements of will or intention that did not they configure no criminal offense… having these bodies created a climate of extreme defenselessness and purely political persecution of anyone who thinks differently from the oligarchic group that prevails over all the country’s institutions”.
From president to prisoner, this was the last 24 hours of Pedro Castillo as head of the Peruvian State
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has yet to recognize Dina Boluarte, who replaces Castillo in power.
“That will be resolved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they are making their analyzes of the situation, we have to wait a while, everything is very fresh, we do have to adhere to the constitutional principles, of non-intervention,” he declared in his daily press conference.
The Mexican president responded that he “does not know” if good relations with the new government of Peru will continue, but ruled out a break.
“We do not know, no (relations are broken), but we are going to wait a few days, I think it is the most appropriate, it is not our purpose to intervene in internal affairs, we are very sorry, yes, that these things happen,” he said. (YO)
