The journalist César Hildebrandt, in his weekly programreferred to the asylum request of the former minister of Pedro Castillo, Betssy Chavezto the embassy of Mexico in Peru and said that the judicial process that is being carried out by the failed coup attempt does not comply with minimum standards of legality.
“If Castillo, having been president, has been treated judicially as he has been treated, Mexico considers that what awaits Betssy Chávez will be an even more sloppy process and in even more abusive conditions imposed by provisional judges who seem to follow political slogans,” he mentioned.
One thing is what we think of Betssy Chávez and another thing is that we demand that she submit to a trial that has all the signs of having a planned script and a programmed outcome. “Peru’s legal and judicial discredit allows Mexico to grant Chávez asylum and tell the world that it is protecting a person who is subject to a process that does not meet minimum international standards,” he added.

In addition, Hildebrandt He recalled the background of the Castillo case. In his comment, he said that the decision of the Mexican Government responds to its historical asylum policy and that our country, despite the bilateral tension, must abide by the commitments of international law.
“Asylum is an inalienable international right that Peru will have to respect, in the same way that it respected the asylum of the year 2022 that Mexico granted to Pedro Castillo’s family. Mexico has honored its diplomatic tradition and has been consistent since Pedro Castillo went to prison since his failed coup d’état (…) Pedro Castillo was a nightmare for the country and for the left, he attempted a tragicomic coup d’état, but no one can deny that Congress did not comply with the rules by vacating him with an insufficient vote,” he specified.

Hildebrandt: “José Jerí does not have the talent to leave any fence high”
In addition, he harshly criticized the president José Jerí for his statements about “leaving the fence high” for the next government. Hildebrandt questioned the president’s lack of self-criticism and questioned his management and leadership capacity.
“José Jerí, the bividí man, says that he is going to leave the fence to the next government, it seems that he does not know what that sentence means. He is playing a kind of imperial modesty, he does not brag about much, that he does things, that he takes photographs of himself proposing things. But this ‘I am going to leave the fence high’ seems to be something he does not understand. If he understands it, he makes a huge mistake, because he does not have time to leave any fence high, because he has no talent, because he does not have the equipment, because he does not have the office to leave one. high hurdle for any upcoming government,” he stated.
