The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obradorstopped the sighting of the solar eclipse in Mazatlan (Sinaloa), to refer again to the diplomatic crisis with Ecuadordue to the police raid on the Mexican Embassy in Quito.
According to Lopez Obradorwho had previously described the event as regrettable, the assault on the diplomatic headquarters is also authoritarian, which not even the former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) “had dared” to do a similar act.
“It was an authoritarian act, incredible, it is sometimes bad to use examples, but neither Pinochet, nor the fearsome Pinochet and others had dared to do that, I believe that those who made that decision are very poorly advised,” said the president.
The president recalled that Mexico will report this Monday to Ecuador before the International Court of Justice. While the Mexican Foreign Minister, Alicia Bárcena, revealed that they will send a letter to the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres.
Furthermore, the Mexican ruler attributed an internal conflict between the government of Daniel Noboa and politicians related to the former president Rafael Correathe forcible invasion carried out by the Ecuadorian authorities at the Mexican Embassy, in order to arrest the former vice president Jorge Glas.
“It has to do with the arrogant attitude of a Government, possibly due to internal rivalry (…) That leads them to take a measure of this type,” he indicated. Lopez Obrador.
The crisis between Mexico y Ecuador It began last Thursday, when the Government of Noboa declared the Mexican ambassador persona non grata, Raquel Serurin response to comments that Lopez Obrador made on Wednesday about the assassination of former presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio and its electoral consequences in 2023.
Lopez Obrador asserted that “the majority” of the international community is “supporting Mexico because it was a flagrant violation of sovereignty, the right of asylum and international norms and laws.
As if that were not enough, the president pointed out that these types of acts are carried out by “weak governments that do not have popular support” or that have no experience.
“Those who made that decision do not know or have bad instincts or are flat out (put bluntly) poorly advised because there are always flatterers (flatterers) who stick their noses in.” Andrés Manuel López Obrador, president of Mexico. EFE
