In a news conference at the National Palace, he added that most repatriated Mexicans have come from Peru (710), followed by Guatemala (140), and Chile (100).
Marcelo Ebrard said that the government is doing the corresponding arrangements so as to repatriate other Mexicans but there are countries “that have not given us the authorization to send a flight, but even if we had the chance, there are countries that are not authorizing flights , so we are reporting this to all embassies to help our co-nationals , of course.”
