Last Monday, Ambassador María Teresa Mercado was declared a “non grata” person by the Bolivian government after denouncing that diplomats from the Spanish embassy, along with hooded and apparently armed security personnel arrived without explanation to the Mexican delegation, in a well-to-do neighborhood of the city of La Paz.
After the declaration, Mercado had a 72-hour period to leave the country, so he returned to Mexico on December 31.
