Ecuador’s Embassy Storming Prompts Mexico to Break Off Relations

 

 

Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with Ecuador after police stormed its embassy in Quito and arrested former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas, who had sheltered at the mission since December.

Mexican Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena announced the “immediate breaking” of ties on Saturday, citing a “flagrant violation” of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The embassy’s Mexican personnel suffered injuries, she said.
