Mexico cuts ties with Ecuador after its embassy was stormed. Ecuadorian police raided the Mexican embassy in Quito to arrest its former vice president.
Mexico's granting of asylum to Glass came on Friday, the day after Ecuador's decision to expel Raquel Seror, the Mexican ambassador to Quito. Ecuador said that the asylum offer made by Mexico to Glass - who was vice president during the leftist government of Rafael Correa between 2013 and 2017 - was illegal. Mexican Foreign Minister Alicia Bárcena said that each embassy has a single goal, which is to provide diplomatic space to strengthen relations.
