After several months of absence, Lilia Paredes reappeared during the inauguration of the new president of MexicoClaudia Sheinbaum. Despite being under investigation for alleged criminal organization, his presence was noticeable being located in the area intended for special guests. The event was attended by leaders from several countries, such as the presidents of Chile, Colombia, Cuba and Brazil, as well as vice presidents and international diplomats.
In the case of Peru, the president Dina Boluarte did not attend the ceremony in which Sheinbaum became the first woman to assume the presidency of Mexico. Instead, Boluarte traveled to Chiclayo, Lambayeque, to lead the third session of the National Citizen Security Council (Conasec), where progress and strategies in the fight against organized crime in the country were discussed.
This fact, added to the lack of an official greeting from the head of state towards the new Mexican government, reflects the diplomatic rift between Peru and Mexico. The relationship between both countries has deteriorated since Mexico granted political asylum to Pedro Castillo’s family, after his failed self-coup attempt in 2022.
