MADRID, 11 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has defended this Saturday that he is not intervening in the Peruvian political crisis generated around the dismissal of Pedro Castillo and that he is only giving his opinion, after being summoned by the Peruvian Foreign Ministry for their "interference" in internal affairs.

In a conversation with the media collected by 'El Universal', AMLO has stated that "they are only giving an opinion, nothing more", although he has indicated that the events that occurred in Peru, referring to the arrest of Pedro Castillo, are "violations of the democracy".

In this sense, he has accused the Andean country of "overreaching" when carrying out these actions against the former president and has wondered what is the reason for removing him from his post if he was elected by the people.

He has also pointed out that those who support this procedure are conservative politicians and intellectuals like Mario Vargas Llosa. "They like democracy when it suits them, but in democracy we all count for the same, we are all equal, besides there are no races, that does not exist and racism should not be done, there should be no classism, there should be humanism," he said. defended.

Later, he lamented the situation in Peru, a country that he considers "has suffered a lot due to the problems it has caused the elite."

"In six years, five presidents, one committed suicide, others in jail, others on the run. Peru is a lot of people for so few politicians," he said.
