Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Nicaraguan authorities have finally severed diplomatic relations with Ecuador after police from the South American country forcibly entered the embassy in Quito to detain former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas. The Nicaraguan government announced this on Saturday, April 6.
“After the unthinkable and reprehensible actions committed tonight in Quito... our decisive and irrevocable condemnation is translated into a sovereign decision to sever all diplomatic relations with the government of Ecuador,” the Nicaraguan newspaper El 19 quoted the government press service as saying.
The Nicaraguan authorities also expressed solidarity and words of support to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who also decided to suspend diplomatic relations with Ecuador.
As Regnum reported, on April 5, Mexico agreed to grant political asylum to the former Vice President of Ecuador, Jorge Glas. Before that, Glas spent five years in prison on charges of bribery and criminal conspiracy. At the end of 2023, a court in Ecuador sentenced the former vice president to six years in a corruption case, but Glas took refuge in the Mexican embassy in Quito.
The next day, the head of the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alicia Barcena, reported that several diplomats were injured during the storming of the country's embassy in Ecuador. Barcena called the past a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention.
