He UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said this Saturday that he was “dismayed” by the police raid. Ecuadorians at the Mexican Embassy in Quito.
In a statement issued the day after the events, Guterres recalled that Diplomatic buildings and their personnel enjoy the “cardinal principle of inviolability.” (which) must be respected in all cases in accordance with international legality.”
Violation of this principle “endangers the normality of international relations.”for which he called on Ecuador and Mexico to “resolve their differences through peaceful means.”
He warned that “violations of this principle jeopardize the search for normal international relations,” which he considers “fundamental to the development of cooperation between states.”
Besides, Guterres calls for moderation and demanded that both governments resolve “their differences by peaceful means.”
The attack on the Mexican embassy in Quito was intended to arrest former Vice President Jorge Glas, who had been granted asylum there, but forced Mexico to immediately sever diplomatic relations with Ecuador.
The governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, the United States, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela also condemned the embassy invasion.
Mexican Embassy in Ecuador will close indefinitely and suspend consular services for more than 1,600 Mexicans and businessmen in this country, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) said.
However, in his statement, he noted that Mexicans and the Ecuadorian business community will be able to receive assistance through the System for the Registration of Mexicans Abroad (Sirme), as well as at the embassies of neighboring countries such as Chile, Colombia and Peru.
Likewise, Foreign Affairs Minister Alicia Bárcena explained that a group of 18 Mexicans, consisting of diplomats in Ecuador and their family members, will return on a commercial flight with the support of friendly embassies.
“A group of 18 people will depart on Sunday, April 7, on a commercial flight from Ecuador to Mexico City.”
Roberto Canseco, head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Political Affairs at the Mexican Embassy in Ecuador, said police in the Andean country raided the diplomatic headquarters “like criminals.”
In videos that circulated on social media Friday night, Canseco can be seen leaving the embassy in pursuit of cars with tinted windows and, as he tries to reach them, he is intercepted by police who detain him.
Speaking to reporters outside the embassy, Canseco said he hit his head on the ground and physically tried to prevent them from entering Mexico’s diplomatic headquarters.
“Like criminals, they raided the Mexican embassy in Ecuador. This is impossible. This simply cannot be. “This is crazy,” he said, clearly upset.
