After the bombing of the Iranian embassy, another incident of invasion of the embassy occurred, this time not in the Middle East, but in Latin America, but this time, the United States still maintained a 100 percent "participation rate," which is worthy of being the source of global trouble.
Here's what happened: on April 5, a group of heavily armed Ecuadorian police officers suddenly broke into the Mexican embassy in Ecuador and arrested former Ecuadorian Vice President Grasse, who was seeking political asylum here. According to the Mexican foreign minister, the Ecuadorian police's forcible intrusion caused consternation among the embassy staff, and some tried to stop it, but they were beaten by the police, and a number of Mexican diplomats were injured as a result.
According to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, an embassy is considered to be an extension of a country's territory, and forcibly breaking into an embassy is tantamount to an infringement on that country. Ecuador should have the most say about this rule, because Assange, the founder of "WikiLeaks", relied on this rule to hide in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for seven years, and Britain did not dare to forcibly break into and arrest people.
What the British didn't dare to do, Ecuador did, why?
This needs to be explained on two levels.
First of all, why is Ecuador doing this?
The main thing is that I can't bear it anymore for Mexico.
A few days ago, Mexican President Andrés López López said that the assassination of Ecuadorian presidential candidate Villavicencio in August last year was inseparable from another candidate, Luisa González, in order to influence the election. Ecuador will not be happy when you hear this, because you are not only interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, but also questioning the legitimacy of the current president, Noboa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Eritrea immediately announced that starting at 5:30 p.m. on April 4, the Mexican ambassador to Ecuador must leave within a time limit of 72 hours.
But that still doesn't seem to be a relief, and so there is the opening scene, when Ecuadorian police break into the embassy and arrest the former vice president of Ecuador, who is under Mexican shelter.
This is Ecuador's motive for forcibly breaking into the Mexican embassy, and it is the result of the outbreak of resentment, but why does Ecuador dare to break this precedent and find Mexico unhappy?
If we look at the map, we know that Mexico is familiar to everyone, and it goes without saying that it is a famous big country in Latin America. Ecuador is relatively unwell-known, its territory is not large, its economy is not developed, and it is one of the poorest countries in Latin America, so why did Ecuador dare to break into the Mexican embassy?
As we mentioned earlier, this is about the United States.
Ecuador's current president, Noboa, is a well-known second-generation rich local man with rich experience in studying and living in the United States, and when he was elected, some people questioned that this benevolent brother can become the leader of a country at the age of 35, most likely because of the deliberate support of the United States.
So we see that after the storming of the embassy, the countries immediately divided into two factions:
One faction supported Mexico and considered Ecuador to be a flagrant violation of international law that must be strongly condemned. From Mexico to Brazil, from Venezuela to Colombia, from Cuba to Bolivia, almost all left-wing governments in Latin America have supported Mexico, and Nicaragua has even directly followed Mexico in announcing the severance of diplomatic relations with Ecuador.
The other faction supports Ecuador, believing that Mexico interfered in other countries' internal affairs and shielded other countries' political prisoners first, and Ecuador is understandable. Most of the members of this faction are right-wing governments, such as Argentina, and although the United States has not made a clear statement, many American media are hyping up how the arrested former vice president of Ecuador is "extremely heinous" and "intolerable."
Looking at it this way, is Ecuador taking advantage of the power of the United States to pretend to be a tiger?
In the past, Israel blew up the Iranian embassy without doing anything, and now Ecuador has forcibly broken into the Mexican embassy and fought a big fight.
