AMLO will speak with Biden about the crisis in Peru; will ask that the US “no longer remove” governments in Latin America

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador criticized this Thursday the role of the United States in the crisis in Peru, insinuating that Washington was behind the fall of the president Pedro Castillo.

López Obrador announced that he will raise this issue with his US counterpart, Joe Bidenduring the North American summit that will take place on January 10 in Mexico City.

“That there is no more interference, that these things like those in Peru do not happen, because the Americans are involved or not in Peru, there are suspicions because they do not even take care of the forms,” ​​said the leftist president in his usual morning conference.

AMLO noted that “the first message after the removal of President Pedro Castillo (by Parliament) was that of the United States ambassador to Peru,” Lisa Kenna.

And “when they declare a state of emergency,” the diplomat went to “meet with the president appointed by Congress (In Boluarte) in the Palace of Lima”, he added.

López Obrador maintained that he will plead with Biden for “no longer putting or removing governments in Latin America at the whim of anyone”, but rather “respect the sovereignty of the peoples, not see each other as adversaries, much less as enemies, treat each other as allies in all countries from America”.

The White House recognized Boluarte as president a day after the dismissal of Castillo, who is in prison after trying to shut down the Legislative, and praised Peruvian institutions for guaranteeing “democratic stability.”

López Obrador is one of the main defenders of the former ruler, denouncing that he is a victim of the political and economic elites of the Andean country.

Alleging interference in its internal affairs, the new Peruvian government declared the Mexican ambassador in Lima “persona non grata” Paul Monroy. In turn, Mexico granted asylum to the Castillo family and ruled out breaking relations.

The Mexican president once again defended Castillo this Thursday, arguing that his dismissal “was a blow from Peru’s conservatism, from Peru’s boss, who, like the conservatives in Mexico and other countries, are class-minded, racist, and very corrupt.”
