The Peruvian government, led by President José Jerí, made a new threat against the Mexican government after it granted political asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chávez, who is under investigation for her alleged role in the failed 2022 attempt by then President Pedro Castillo to declare a state of emergency and dissolve Peru's Congress as lawmakers prepared to vote on his impeachment.
Chávez has remained inside the Mexican Embassy in Lima since Nov. 2, which has prompted the Jerí administration to consider more aggressive steps to detain her.
