AMLO also revealed that Castle telephoned to request asylum at the Embassy of Mexico in the Peru.

“He spoke here to the office so that they would notify me that he was going to the Embassy, ​​that he was going to request asylum and that if they opened the door of the embassy, ​​but surely they had already tapped his telephone”, Lopez Obrador said.

In addition, he said that he instructed the Mexican foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrardso that he could speak with the ambassador of Mexico in Peru and open the door to Castle to apply for asylum.

In any case, stressed that Mexico remains willing to offer asylum to Castillobecause “it is part of the tradition”.

AMLO’s statements come after Dina Boluartea former vice president, assumed the presidency of Peru on Wednesday when Congress removed Castillo from office after he attempted to temporarily dissolve Congress and install a national emergency government in what was widely interpreted as a coup.

Lopez Obrador did not reveal the future of the Pacific Alliance Summitinitially scheduled to be held in Mexico City and later transferred to Lima due to Castillo’s inability to leave the country.

“You cannot, there are no conditions and we are very sorry because now Relations are going to have to decide, you have to consult the other members of the Pacific Alliance, the president of Chile, the president of Colombia, to see what is done” , he stressed.

Peru had to receive the temporary presidency of the organization from Mexico, but now the Mexican president opened the door to keep the presidency himself or cede it to another of the member countries, Chile and Colombia.
