Mexico and Ecuador broke off diplomatic relations within a day, and many countries condemned Ecuador, and the situation in Latin America will be chaotic?
The current world situation can really be described as a wave of unsettled waves, the war on the Eurasian continent has not subsided, and Latin America has begun to be unpeaceful.
On the evening of April 5, local time, Mexican Foreign Minister Bárcena announced that he would sever diplomatic relations with Ecuador with immediate effect.
Relations between Mexico and Ecuador have been good since June 1830, when Mexico recognized Ecuador and diplomatic relations were established between the two countries.
In December 2018, then Ecuadorian President Moreno also went to Mexico in person to attend the inauguration ceremony of the current Mexican President López, and earlier on the 5th, Mexican President López also made it clear that Mexico would not sever diplomatic relations with Ecuador.
Why did diplomatic relations between Mexico and Ecuador take a turn for the worse in one day?
This brings us to former Ecuadorian Vice President Grasse.
As vice president of Correa's left-wing government, Glass was jailed for corruption and bribery and released in 2022, but in 2023, an Ecuadorian court again sentenced Glass to serve his sentence for corruption.
In Glass's view, he has already gone to prison for corruption, and it would be a witch hunt to sentence him to prison again on corruption charges. So Glass appealed, and at the same time sought political asylum from Mexico's left-wing government.
Glass has been living at the Mexican Embassy in Ecuador since December 2023, and the Mexican government has denied Ecuador's request to enter the embassy and arrest Glass.
Since then, diplomatic relations between Mexico and Ecuador have been rifted because of Grass.
On April 3, local time, Mexican President López made some remarks involving Ecuador's presidential candidates at the government's regular press conference, which implies that López believes that the current president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, did not win the presidency through fair competition.
In view of López's "inappropriate remarks", on April 4, local time, the Ecuadorian government announced that the Mexican ambassador to Ecuador would be listed as "persona non grata" and expelled.
In this regard, the Mexican side expressed regret and issued a communiqué on the 5th, saying that they would officially provide political asylum to Grasse, and asked the Ecuadorian side to provide safe passage for Grasse to leave the country within the framework of the diplomatic asylum convention.
The Ecuadorian side, believing that the immunity and privileges of diplomatic missions could not be abused, refused to provide Grasse with a safe passage out of the country, and even forcibly broke into the Mexican Embassy in Ecuador to arrest Grass.
As you know, the embassy is considered an extension of national sovereignty, and Ecuador's actions are undoubtedly a violation of Mexican sovereignty. Later, Mexican President Andrés López López L
It is reported that after Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with Ecuador, on April 6, local time, the government of the Latin American country of Nicaragua also announced that they had severed all diplomatic relations with Ecuador.
At the same time, the leaders of several Latin American countries, including Bolivia, Colombia and Chile, have spoken out in support of Mexico.
The reason for this is that Ecuador's forcible entry into the embassy of another country violates the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and flagrantly violates international law.
Judging from the current situation, the Ecuadorian side forcibly broke into the embassy and arrested people, which was undoubtedly the direct trigger for the severance of diplomatic relations, but the deeper reason is most likely because of the partisan strife in Ecuador.
You must know that the current president of Ecuador is from the right, while Glass belongs to the left, and in Latin American countries, political struggle to suppress opponents has long been the norm.
For the Ecuadorian authorities, the arrest of Glass would certainly be a blow to political opponents, but it would also deepen partisan tensions and affect political stability. In addition, the behavior of Latin American countries in "taking sides" in this severance of diplomatic relations will undoubtedly affect the unity of the Latin American region, which is also not conducive to the stability of the regional situation.
