LIMA (Reuters) -Peruvian lawmakers said Mexico's president was unwelcome in the country on Thursday, escalating a diplomatic row as it weighs whether to grant safe passage to Mexico to an opposition politician holed up at the Mexican embassy in Lima.
Peru's Congress voted to declare President Claudia Sheinbaum a "persona non grata" days after its government severed diplomatic ties with Mexico for granting asylum to Betssy Chavez, the last prime minister for Peru's ousted and now jailed former President Pedro Castillo.
