The president, whose speech lasted for about three hours, promised to turn this group, made up of Mexico, Chile and Colombia, “into a decisive actor on the international stage.”
In order for this transfer to be possible, AMLO ceded the presidency to the Chilean president, who, in turn, will hand it over to Boluarte next Tuesday, in a ceremony attended by the Chancellor Ana Gervasi.
In the same way, he commented that he will assume this temporary presidency “with the firm intention of consolidating a greater expansion of trade at the regional and global level, which translates into more jobs for more Peruvians, contributing, in turn, to the recovery economy of the country”.
Since the president came to power, relations between Lima and Mexico have become tense. López Obrador accused the country’s political elites of having organized a coup against Castillo. At the same time, the Mexican administration granted asylum to the former president’s wife and his children.
