The former Castilian premier Betssy Chavez She has been in asylum in Lima for three months under the protection of the Mexican Government. She cannot leave the diplomatic residence due to the risk of being detained, but that has not prevented her from campaigning for her mother Herminia Chino, who is running for the Senate with the questioned Podemos party of José Luna Gálvez.
Chávez intends to become a victim after being sentenced, in November 2025, to 11 years in prison for the attempted coup d’état on December 7, 2022, led by Pedro Castillo.
She makes this known through her social networks, where she remains active, shows her drawings, calls on her followers and demands that the Peruvian Government grant her safe passage that allows her to leave the country without problems and escape to Mexico.
Her mother, for her part, supports her political campaign on the same idea: seeking full freedom for Betssy Chávez. A family symbiosis.
However, the Judiciary verified the participation of the former minister in the coordination to carry out the illegal closure of Congress, and the reorganization of the justice system, by coordinating the dissemination of Castillo’s presidential message on national television. She is not innocent.
And in this context, the Tacneño lawyer seeks for Herminia Chino to capitalize on the votes she believes she has won for being an alleged politically persecuted person.
On January 30, Chino published an “open letter to the Peruvian State” on Facebook to insist on safe passage for his daughter and assured that, if he reaches the Senate, “I will continue working so that the human rights and dignity of the Peruvian people are respected.”
In other publications, she shares the videos that her daughter records from the Mexican residence, a country with which Peru broke diplomatic relations, precisely because of the asylum it granted to the former official.
A week ago, meanwhile, the former prime minister published a video on her TikTok account in which she appears with her candidate mother and announces that they will prepare a spicy shrimp dish and that then she will be traveling to the south of the country.
“My mom is traveling tomorrow to the city of Tacna, so I send a big hug to all the family and friends, and she will also be traveling to Puno and Arequipa,” said Chávez Chino.
What is shown as an emotional mother-daughter relationship is actually a campaign to get votes, and the investigated José Luna, who wants to be president in 2026, also takes advantage of that.
Peru21 He learned that the former premier has only received family visits at the Mexican residence, where Consul Enrique Paredes eventually goes. Two employees and a driver work there.
What is Brazil doing in this plot?
On the property where Betssy Chávez is located, in San Isidro, the Brazilian flag has been raised since last week.
In a statement, the government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva reported that it represents the diplomatic interests of Mexico in the face of the crisis declared with Peru, invoking sections b) and c) of article 45 of the Convention.
from Vienna.
Both sections stipulate that a third State can guard the property of a country in the midst of a diplomatic conflict with the consent of the resident State.
In this case, Peru accepted that Brazil guard the assets of the North American country.
It is not the only example of this type. The same thing is repeated in Venezuela, which after breaking diplomatic relations with Peru in July 2024, allowed Brazil to do the same with the Peruvian headquarters located in Caracas.
