Ousted Peruvian President Pedro Castillo's lawyer, Guido Leonardo Croxatto, an Argentinian national, delivered a letter of appreciation and solidarity from Castillo to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador following the prior's impeachment on charges of alleged conspiracy and rebellion.

In the letter, Castillo thanked Obrador for his steadfast support amid increasing political and social turmoil in Peru. Castillo wrote in his letter, which was posted on his Twitter page: 

"From this cell in which I can only resist with longing for the prompt freedom of my people, I greet you with all my strength and hope to thank you and all the Mexican people for the support to the just struggles of Peru and the permanent support to my family."

Moreover, Castillo insisted that "my freedom is secondary," and argued that "the true freedom that should be supported, dear brother President, is that of our people, today repressed and with dozens of compatriots shot dead. Their mothers mourn them without being heard. There is no justice."

Boluarte recalls envoy to Mexico, downgrades diplomatic ties

Peruvian President Dina Boluarte, in February 2022, announced her decision to downgrade diplomatic relations with Mexico after Obrador described her as a "false" President.

Boluarte, through a Twitter post, said she ordered the definitive withdrawal of the Peruvian ambassador to Mexico and reduced diplomatic ties to the level of Charge d'Affaires.

"The Government of Peru has ordered the definitive withdrawal of its ambassador in the United Mexican States and thus, diplomatic relations between Peru and Mexico are formally at the level of Charge d'Affaires," the post read.

Boluarte further accused the Mexican President of damaging ties and backing Castillo's attempt at a "coup d'etat."

"With his statements, Mr. Lopez violates the principle of international law about non-interference in internal affairs, as well as those referring to the defense and promotion of democracy," she said in a television address.
