Venezuela condemns assault on Mexican embassy in Ecuador
The Venezuelan president described the assault on the Mexican embassy as an “act of barbarism,” which is why he supported the Mexican government’s demand that Ecuador be expelled from the United Nations Organization (HER).
The Government of Mexico indicated in its complaint before the international Court of Justice (ICJ) that Ecuador be expelled “until it apologizes to the international community and restores the situation to its original legal status.”
“(Former) Vice President Jorge Glas must be restored to the Mexican Embassy, his political asylum must be recognized, he must be given approval and travel to recover his physical health from torture in Mexico,” President Maduro demanded.
Maduro’s conviction was carried out in a virtual meeting of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac), summoned to discuss the invasion of the Mexican embassy.
President Andrés Manuel López Obradorasked at the virtual summit to join his complaint once morest Ecuador at the ICJ, in which he demands that the Noboa government make an offer of non-repetition, “to never do anything wrong once more.”
