In a move that seemed normal, the Mexican ambassador to Argentina, Ricardo Valero, submitted his resignation last Sunday, referring to the decision he made to remove him from his health problems. “Ricardo Valero is a wonderful person, but he is receiving treatment for a nerve health problem and we wish him a speedy recovery,” said Marcello Ebrard, Mexican Foreign Minister, in a tweet on his Twitter account.
However, the spread of a video clip on the media dating back to late October showing the Mexican ambassador trying to steal a book from one of the most famous libraries in Argentina overturned the balance of the first resignation novel and put the ambassador in an unenviable position. It appears that the ambassador did not pay attention to the internal surveillance cameras, which filmed what he was doing.
According to reports the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs had summoned the ambassador earlier in December, amid the consequences of the twenty-sixth theft incident that occurred in the library “El Ateneo”, one of the most famous libraries in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. Ayers. The ambassador appeared in the surveillance cameras as he took a volume from above one of the shelves and hidden it between the pages of a newspaper, placed it under his arm, and then left the library with the book, without paying for it.
The book is reported to be worth $ 10 and deals with the biography of the Italian writer, Minister of Women Giacomo Casanova, who lived in the eighteenth century.
For its part, the Mexican Foreign Ministry announced that Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard accepted the request for the resignation of Oscar Ricardo Fleero, the country’s ambassador to Argentina.
Argentine media reports said that it was not the first time that the Mexican ambassador was accused of theft. He had been charged a few days ago with the charges of stealing a shirt from a store at Buenos Aires International Airport on December 10.
