Mexico Breaks Ties With Ecuador After Embassy in Quito Stormed.

Mexico has severed diplomatic ties with Ecuador after police stormed the Mexican embassy in Quito and detained former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas, who had been seeking shelter there. The Mexican Foreign Minister cited a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations as the reason for the immediate break in relations. The raid occurred shortly after Mexico granted political asylum to Glas, who had been in the embassy since December. Ecuador had previously declared Mexico's ambassador to the country persona non grata due to comments made by Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador regarding Ecuador's 2023 election and the assassination of a presidential candidate.
