The former president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, apologized to Mexico after the Ecuadorian Police broke into the embassy of said country to arrest former vice president Jorge Glas.
“What the Noboa Government has done is unprecedented in Latin American history. Not even in the worst dictatorships has a country’s embassy been violated. We do not live in a State of law, but in a State of barbarism, with an improvised system that confuses the Homeland with one of its banana farms,” wrote the former president.
It is reported that during the intervention, the Ecuadorian law enforcement forces attacked the head of the Foreign Ministry and Political Affairs of the Mexican embassy, Roberto Canseco, without taking into account that the diplomat is an elderly person.

Photographs show how Ecuadorian police took the diplomat to the ground without respecting his rank.
A day earlier, Ecuador had declared the Mexican ambassador to Ecuador, Raquel Sesur, persona non grata, and had granted political asylum to Jorge Glas.
The reaction of the government of President Daniel Noboa would have occurred following comments by the Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) in which he considered that the murder of candidate Fernando Villavicencio harmed Correism.
