State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Wednesday that the US rejected the violation of the Peruvian Constitution.
“You are right that our ambassador in Lima, Lisa Kenna…She made it very clear that we categorically reject any act that circumvents or contradicts the constitutions of Peru,” Price said. “This is not just a concern of the United States, it is a concern that we share with our partners.”
He added that the US has raised this in the Organization of American States (OAS).
“Under the Inter-American Democratic Charter, we share a hemispheric commitment to defend democratic values, human rights and the rule of law.” I observed that it was in the same Lima where the Inter-American Democratic Charter was signed more than 11 years ago, more than 60 years ago, excuse me”, he stated.
The governments of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay also recognize the presidency of Boluarte .
Mexico continues without expressing its support, but the president Andrés Manuel López Obrador even talks about possible political asylum for Castillo.
