😲 Big diplomatic shake-up in Latin America! Peru just announced it's breaking ties with Mexico. The reason? Mexico granted asylum to Betssy Chavez, the ex-prime minister under Pedro Castillo, who faces charges for a failed coup attempt in December 2022.
Peruvian FM Hugo de Zela slammed the move, calling it "unfriendly" and a clear case of meddling in Peru's internal affairs. He said:
In response to this unfriendly act, and considering the repeated instances in which the current and former presidents of that country have interfered in Peru's internal affairs, the Peruvian government has decided, as of today, to break diplomatic relations with Mexico.
Think of it like a group chat meltdown—only it's two nations! 🌐⚖️ Both countries are expected to recall ambassadors and freeze high-level discussions, adding a new twist to regional politics.
Stay tuned as this story unfolds. Will there be a diplomatic truce or further escalation? 🚀
