Because Mexico granted asylum to former Prime Minister Betssy Chávez, Claudia Sheinbaum has been declared persona non grata by the Peruvian Congress.

The Peruvian parliament justified its decision by describing it as an "unacceptable interference in internal affairs" by the Mexican government. This response is similar to that of De Zela, who expressed feeling "surprised and very sad" upon learning that Chávez was receiving asylum at the Mexican embassy residence in Peru. The research, based on 1,196 representative surveys conducted in Lima, the north, south, central, and eastern regions of the country, reveals a significant shift in citizen expectations: charisma and rhetoric are no longer the primary focus; instead, effectiveness and tangible results are desired. Nearly three years after Pedro Castillo left the Government Palace in December 2022, diplomatic relations between Mexico and Peru continue to suffer the aftereffects of his dismissal. The Peruvian Congress on Thursday approved a motion declaring Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata. This came after her government began the process of granting asylum to Betssy Chávez, who was the last chief of staff to President Castillo and is currently at the Mexican embassy in Lima. On Monday, Peru's foreign minister, Hugo de Zela, announced that diplomatic ties between the two countries had been severed.
