After police intrusion into its embassy in Quito, Mexico cuts diplomatic relations with Ecuador. Ecuador justified the violation of a sacrosanct diplomatic principle: the inviolability of an embassy.
The former Ecuadorian vice-president, Jorge Glass, who has taken refuge in the Mexican embassy since December 17, was the subject of an arrest warrant in connection with possible embezzlement during the reconstruction of the province of Manabi after the 2016 earthquake. In the images, the Mexican charge d'affaires protests against the intrusion of the police officers who treat him unceremoniously.
