Mexico's president says his country is breaking diplomatic ties with Ecuador after embassy raid
Ecuadorian police officers forcibly broke into the Mexican embassy in Quito, detaining former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas.
Mexico is breaking off diplomatic ties with Ecuador after police broke into the Mexican Embassy in Quito to arrest a former Ecuadorian vice president who has sought political asylum there after being indicted on corruption.
Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador made the announcement Friday evening after Ecuadorian police forced their way into the embassy to arrest Jorge Glas who has been residing there since December, as a diplomatic rift between the two countries deepened.
Glas, arguably the most wanted man in the country, was convicted on bribery and corruption charges. Ecuadorian authorities are still investigating more allegations against him.
This Mexican President has been one of the most corrupt and inept presidents in Mexican history. Allied with organized crime and purposeful in his approach to corrupt and destroy the Mexican Army.
He’s also not in good terms with the Industry leaders that could do an embargo with Ecuador. A country that has been infiltrated severely by Mexican narcos, who were also trying to influence their elections by assassinating candidates.
Dude has also criticized the US, Mexico’s most important partner and a strong backer to make Mexico influential in Latin America.
There’s nothing AMLO can do but to make symbolic gestures.
And at the same time, raiding embassies sets a very, very bad precedent, whether you like Mexico's president or not
Still. Raiding embassies is the worst you can do. Its basically an invasion of a foreign country. Even states like Russia do not do that.
What are you talking about? Russia invades entire countries! They don’t give a shit about embassies. That’s for show.
And in this case, the question is: What is Mexico going to do about it?
Infiltrating Narcos and cuddling them is an invasion of Ecuador. Especially when there’s no embassy, hospital or safe house the narcos will respect.
Raiding the embassy was a bad move for Ecuador, but it's not like if AMLO (aka. El kks, means something like "the shits") hasn't been getting his hands on other countries' affairs and trying to manipulate their elections to get their friends in power along with the narcos.
This isn't a black and white event like many people seem to force it, this is something el kks brought upon himself. Also he loves to play the victim and people love to fall for it.
woah, so nothing is sacred now? 😱🤔😐
not when amlo is helping the cartels
i am all for normalizing raiding ambassies for [put the cause you support] as well
This is the best summary I could come up with:
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Mexico is breaking off diplomatic ties with Ecuador after police broke into the Mexican Embassy in Quito to arrest a former Ecuadorian vice president who has sought political asylum there after being indicted on corruption.
Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador made the announcement Friday evening after Ecuadorian police forced their way into the embassy to arrest Jorge Glas who has been residing there since December, as a diplomatic rift between the two countries deepened.
Police broke into the external doors of the Mexican diplomatic headquarters in the Ecuadorian capital and entered the main patio to get Glas.
“This is not possible, it cannot be, this is crazy,” said Roberto Canseco, head of the Mexican consular section in the capital, Quito, told local press while standing outside the embassy.
López Obrador fired back calling Glas’ detention an “authoritarian act” and “a flagrant violation of international law and the sovereignty of Mexico.”
The Mexican Embassy in Quito remained under heavy police guard late Friday.
