Mexico calls meeting to protest Bolivian ‘harassment’
Mexico’s Foreign Ministry on Wednesday requested a meeting with Bolivia’s charge d’affaires to protest the “harassment and intimidation” of its diplomatic personnel in the Bolivian city La Paz.
Since Monday, Mexico has accused Bolivia of ramping up police presence outside its embassy and intimidating diplomats.
The spat follows a chill in relations after Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador last month gave political asylum to former Bolivian president Evo Morales, a fellow leftist.
Mexico’s Foreign Ministry said it called a meeting for yesterday so that the Bolivian charge d’affaires can “explain the behavior of Bolivian authorities,” the ministry said in a statement.
