Why do you question these two countries?
Lopez Obrador criticized that “the extreme was reached, in the case of Canada, to say that it was an “alleged violation of international law” or an “apparent one.” “We do not allow that, we do not accept it,” he added.
‘While “in the case of USA It was a document, a bulletin from the State Department, not condemning the interference, the assault, the invasion” of the Embassy and, instead, “talking about seeking reconciliation, but without speaking out against this authoritarian act.”
«Furthermore, the president has not done it Bidenas other leaders who have expressed themselves openly did, then we think that they want to maintain relations, just as they want them with us, of friendship with Ecuador despite an authoritarian attitude like the one we are seeing,” he stressed.
Broken relationships?
Hours before, he stated that the Government from Ecuador felt “the support of other governments or powers” to raid the Embassy of Mexico and take the former vice president Jorge Glaswho had been in custody since December to protect himself from a criminal corruption trial.

“They are free to express themselves or not, the only thing is that I have the responsibility of informing the people of Mexico where there has been solidarity in a case as serious as this, where there has been ambiguity and where, flatly (said forcefully), authoritarianism has been tolerated,” he argued.
He also indicated that Mexico «no wants it to continue applying in America the Monroe Doctrine”, in which certain rulers are tolerated “authoritarian» and others are criticized.
«We cannot let an issue like this pass, we cannot remain silent, it would be faint-hearted if, in the face of such an outrage, we remained silent and did not inform the people of Mexico the behavior, the attitude, of other peoples and other Governments,” he stated. EFE
