The night of Friday, April 5 Ecuadorian police broke into the Mexican Embassy in Quito, arresting former vice president Jorge Glas. The response of the country led by Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) was to cut diplomatic relations.
In an interview offered to the media, the person in charge of the Embassy, Roberto Canseco, explained How they experienced the entry of the Ecuadorian officers from the inside.
“It can't be, this has not happened in the worst cases,” he said, later explaining that they were about to leave the place when they met the police officers whom he called “thieves.”
“We didn't know what was happening, we were about to leave when we ran into police, thieves, who came in at night,” he said.
Roberto Canseco said he did not know if legal action would be taken in response to the arrival of police elements into Mexican territory.
“I don't know, but it is something totally unacceptable. I physically risked my life, I defended the honor and sovereignty of my country. This cannot be, it is incredible that something like this has happened,” he concluded, to express that he has to “go report.” “.
Assault
When the dark-colored vehicles were holding Jorge Glas, the Mexican official ran up to one of them to try to save him. He failed after the intervention of Ecuadorian officials.

AMLO's reaction was to instruct the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Alicia Bárcena, to cut diplomatic relations between Mexico and Ecuador. The chancellor confirmed the above on her X account, before her Twitter, with the following message:
“In consultations with President López Obrador, given the flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the injuries suffered by Mexican diplomatic personnel in Ecuador, Mexico announces the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with Ecuador.”
