Mexico’s president says his country is demanding that the United Nations expel Ecuador from the world body.
Mexico's president said Thursday his country is demanding that the United Nations expel Ecuador from the world body as part of a complaint to the top U.N. court over Ecuador’s police raid last week on the Mexican Embassy in Quito. Tensions between Mexico and Ecuador have soared since late last week when Ecuadorian authorities forced their way into the diplomatic mission to arrest Ecuador's former Vice President Jorge Glas, who had been holed up there seeking asylum in Mexico.
Ecuador has argued that Glas has been targeted for crimes, not for political reasons, and that Mexico should not have been considering asylum for him. On April 5, Ecuadorean police scaled the embassy walls and broke into the building. Roberto Canseco, Mexico’s head of consular affairs and the highest ranking diplomat present since Ecuador expelled the ambassador earlier in the week, tried to keep them from entering, even pushing a large cabinet in front of a door.
