The president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, responded this Friday to the criticism of her Mexican counterpart, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who partially broke relations with the Andean country, saying that he has “a lot of ignorance for so much intelligence of the Mexican people”.

“Regarding the words of López Obrador there in Mexico, a bit making rhetoric of what he says, a lot of ignorance for so much intelligence of the Mexican people”affirmed Boluarte when the press asked him at a government act about what the president of the Mexican country had said hours before.

Hours before, López Obrador assured that “It is a lot of people of Peru for so little government.”

The Peruvian Congress declared López Obrador persona non grata on Thursday for his repeated statements on Peru’s internal affairs and the refusal to transfer the presidency of the Pacific Alliance to the Andean country, to which he replied this Friday.

“If I can’t go to Peru, my only regret is that I won’t be able to go to Machu Picchu, that’s the only thing and, of course, to see that wonderful, extraordinary town. It is a lot of people in Peru for so little government“, López Obrador replied today.

In addition, he said that the government headed by “does not want to have economic or commercial relations with Peru” and once again described Boluarte as a “usurper” of the post.

While regarding the delivery of the pro tempore presidency of the Pacific Alliance, the Mexican president said that he could hand it over to the Government of Chile, despite the fact that it corresponds to Peru.

“I give it to the Chileans, but I am not going to give it to the lady who is usurping the Presidency (of Peru). As long as there is no democratic normality in Peru, we do not want economic or commercial relations with them. It simply remains on hold “, exposed López Obrador in his daily press conference at the National Palace.

And he reiterated that “If Chile hands it over to Peru, that’s your business, but we won’t participate until there is democratic political normality in Peru.”
