Peru's Prime Minister Javier Velásquez Quesquén said that if the Venezuelan politician Didalco Bolívar asks Perú for political asylum, his request will be submitted to the Foreign Relationships Ministry for evaluation.
"Our country respects democracy and its institutions, such as the right to asylum; but we also have to take into account the elements of bilateral relationships in the region," he said.
Later on, Peru's Chancellor, José García Belaunde, said that "he was not aware" of Bolivar's alleged entry into Peruvian territory.
Reportedly, Bolívar, a former ally of Hugo Chávez, is currently in Lima, looking for legal advice in order to file an oficial request of political asylum.
The request has not been presented yet, informed the Peruvian Chancellery. Bolívar has been accused in Venezuela of acts of corruption while he was governor of Aragua State (1995-2008).
