"Latin American Solidarity: Repercussions of Ecuador's Embassy Raid and Assassination"

Latin American governments, including Brazil, rallied around Mexico after Ecuador raided the Mexican embassy to arrest former Vice President Jorge Glas, triggering a suspension of relations. Mexico condemned the incursion as authoritarian and a breach of international law, while Ecuador argued asylum protections were illegal due to corruption charges. Governments across Latin America criticized the arrest, with Mexico planning to file a complaint with the International Court of Justice for grave violations of international law. The Organization of American States called for dialogue to resolve the dispute, while Colombian President Gustavo Petro emphasized the need to uphold international law.
