MADRID, 8 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Former Ecuadorian vice president Jorge Glas would have been hospitalized this Monday due to what various sources cited by Ecuadorian media attribute to a drug overdose. The authorities have not given any official information and the versions vary from that he is in a coma to that he has already returned to the La Roca prison in Guayaquil, where he has been since the Mexican Embassy where he was assaulted on Friday. took refuge

One of the versions published by the newspaper ‘El Universo’ cites sources from the Military Hospital who maintain that Glas received “first aid” at the health center. “It was fast and it came out of here,” hospital workers said.

The leader of the political movement Revolución Ciudadana (RC) and president during Glas’ mandate, Rafael Correa, has commented on the news published by several Ecuadorian media on his X account. «It was what he feared. The scoundrels will jump for joy. Strength, Jorge! #LosCorruptosAlwaysFueronEllos », he has published.

Other media outlets such as Radio Pichincha point out that sources close to Revolución Ciudadana claim that Glas is stable after suffering from poisoning due to the medications he took due to spinal pain. According to these sources, Glas did not respond to stimuli after an initial medical evaluation in prison and for this reason he was transferred to the Military Hospital and later to the Naval Hospital.

From the newspaper ‘Primicias’ they point to intentional and improper intake of anxiolytic, antidepressant and sedative medications, according to a police report to which the newspaper has had access.

“The diagnosis of self-induced deep coma caused by the ingestion of anxiolytic, antidepressant and sedative medications is presumed,” says the police report cited by ‘Primicias’.

Glas was detained in the maximum security prison La Roca in Guayaquil after being captured last Friday in a raid by police and soldiers on the Mexican Embassy where he was taking refuge.
