Rafael María Felipe Mijares Ferreiro ( 1948 - 1996 ) was a Mexican ambassador .

Life

From 1982 Mijares Ferreiro was accredited in Madrid . From September 23, 1988 to February 23, 1989, he was Chargé d'affaires in Beijing . From 1992 Mijares Ferreiro was accredited as counselor to the Holy See . Enrique Olivares Santana was the first Mexican ambassador to be accredited there after 1859. Olivares traveled to Mexico for a week in early 1994. In a biography of Olivares it is alleged that the murder of Luis Donaldo Colosio had unsettled the government of Carlos Salinas de Gortari with regard to its authority to issue guidelines for policy with the Catholic Church and that despite constant inquiries he remained without instructions. Olivares Santana had suddenly been given a medal on the instructions of John Paul II . Acceptance of acceptance into an order of a foreign power is punishable under the Mexican Constitution with the withdrawal of Mexican citizenship. A committee of the Congress of the Union of Mexico enacts a law on request that acceptance is unobjectionable. This did not happen in the case of Olivares Santana, whereupon he disappeared from public life and Mijares Ferreiro was chargé d'affaires from October 31, 1994 to April 3, 1995.
