The statement indicates that “President Petro’s statements constitute unacceptable interference in the internal affairs of Peru, especially serious in the context of acts of violence that caused unfortunate loss of human life.”
In addition, the Foreign Ministry added that “They are not consistent with the traditional relations of mutual respect, friendship, cooperation and the desire for integration that unite both states and peoples”
Finally, the sector indicated that Gustavo Petro’s statements move away from “The prudence that the successive governments of Peru and Colombia have cultivated regarding the internal political affairs of the other State, especially in complex and delicate situations.”
WHAT DID GUSTAVO PETRO SAY?
A few days ago, Gustavo Petro referred to the political crisis in our country. The Colombian president reported that he does not recognize Dina Boluarte as the legitimate head of state of the Peruvians. In addition, he pointed out that for now “there are no conversations” with her.
“The truth is that today there is a crisis and that crisis is altering the schedule of the integration process that we brought, and there is a popularly elected president in preventive detention, which is an outburst,” said the foreign president.
He also offered Colombia as a mediating country to enable dialogue between Peruvian political actors, in search of a way out of the crisis.
“Hopefully that will change, I cannot predict what could happen in Peru, I hope they stop killing, there are close to 20 deaths and I believe that a political dialogue is necessary; I can’t define if the variables of that dialog. If Colombia is necessary to enable the great social and political dialogue in Peru, then we are ready”, he pointed out.
In addition, he criticized that before Castillo was dismissed, according to him irregularly, his work was already being torpedoed, for example when Congress prevented him from leaving the country to attend the Pacific Alliance summit in November.
“When the Peruvian Parliament prevented the popularly elected president of Peru from going to the meetings of Latin American presidents, what it was preventing the articulation and economic integration of Latin America and the Andean area,” Petro said.
