Chile’s ambassador to Peru was ordered to return home yesterday after the renewal of a maritime dispute between both countries. The Bachelet administration told Ambassador Cristian Barros to return “for consultations” one day after the Peruvian government’s newspaper issued a map claiming a prime fishing territory.Peru and Chile have quarreled over terrain for over a century and this has even led to some unique protests such as pro-Chile hackers attacking the Peruvian government website.
