The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico has been authorized to enlarge its scope. In 2017, the Mexican government ended its diplomatic ties with Ecuador following a breach of international norms when Ecuadorian police conducted a raid on the Mexican embassy with heavy weaponry. In the evening of April 7, authorities entered the Mexican embassy in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, to detain ex-Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas, who had sought asylum in the embassy. “There is no government authorization to enter an embassy as was done in Ecuador,” stated Mariana Aparicio, a foreign relations expert and professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), in an interview with The Progressive. I believe that it sets a dangerous precedent, not just for the area, but also for the global community. The raid on the Mexican embassy has been criticized by governments throughout Latin America and at the global level. Glas held the position of vice president from 2013 to 2017. He was found guilty of corruption in 2017 and given a six-year prison sentence, leading to the end of his term.
