During a plenary session on Friday evening, Congress approved the motion that expresses rejection of the statements by the
President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, which constitute an offense against the National Police of Peru. Thus, Parliament has declared him persona non grata.
The document proposes
"to express its rejection of the unacceptable expressions by Gustavo Petro Urrego, President of Colombia, which constitute an offense to our National Police of Peru, to the Republic of Peru, and by trivializing the Holocaust it also constitutes an offense to the entire Jewish people, many of whose members are Peruvian nationals."
Similarly, it declares him "persona non grata."
