Mexico has decided to sever diplomatic ties with Ecuador following a controversial incident involving the arrest of former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas. The Mexican embassy in Quito was raided by Ecuadorian police in an attempt to apprehend Glas, who was seeking asylum there. This move has prompted Mexico to recall all its diplomatic staff from Ecuador immediately.
The situation escalated when Ecuadorian authorities forcibly entered the Mexican embassy to arrest Glas, who had been convicted of corruption charges and was claiming political persecution. Mexico condemned this action as a violation of international law, as embassies are typically considered protected spaces under diplomatic norms.
