Diplomacy Ecuador expels the Mexican ambassador after López Obrador's controversial statements about the assassination of Villavicencio
Tension Mexico and Ecuador break diplomatic relations after the assault on the embassy in Quito and the arrest of Correísta Glas
The revolutionary allies of Andrés Manuel López Obrador this Saturday overwhelmingly supported the president of Mexico in the midst of the general rejection on the continent, led by the Organization of American States (OAS), in the face of the
red line
crossed by the Ecuadorian Daniel Noboa with the assault on the Mexican embassy in Quito and the arrest of
Correísta
Jorge Glas
. This already had the support of the Puebla Group, led by
José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero
, who came to justify with the famous
lawfare
(judicial persecution) the scandalous chapters carried out by the former right-hand man of former president
Rafael Correa
.
"It is an act of barbarism, something never seen in Latin America. The right-wing,
pro-Yankee
government brutally violated International Law, kidnapping a political asylum seeker. Venezuela raises its voice forcefully to reject this fascist act," pontificated
Nicolás Maduro
. And he did it precisely when six close collaborators of the opposition leader
María Corina Machado
remain refugees, under siege by Chavista agents, in the Argentine Embassy in Caracas.
"Some autocrats are rubbing their hands with joy celebrating democratic governments paving the way for
international arbitrariness
," warned analyst
Nicmer Evans
.
"What the Government of Ecuador did could open
an extremely dangerous Pandora's box
. The precedent it sets is very serious, worrying. Imagine that now autocracies, or those that are on the way to it, such as Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia and even El Salvador, they are starting to do this. I hope the Venezuelan dictatorship does not think of doing something similar, because we know what happens to their political prisoners: they are tortured or murdered and their families are threatened," political scientist Walter
Molina
warned for EL MUNDO. .
López Obrador's provocations and Noboa's unprecedented response culminate weeks of crossfire between presidents, in which at least seven countries have been immersed. Colombia and Argentina were on the verge of breaking off relations and Maduro's latest electoral cacicada forced
Petro
and
Lula da Silva
to reproach his ally, who, when reacting, spoke about the "cowardly left." In the distribution of insults (murderer, Hitler, Nazi, interventionist...), the Sandinista leader
Daniel Ortega
won first prize: "Pinochetito, garbage, shame for the left"...
"We are seeing an
increase in diplomatic tensions between countries in the region
. If this continues, the order established in the West, which has maintained a minimum international stability, is in danger," Molina stated.
