With this act it would seem that there is lawlessness in ecuador. I sense another war brewing.
Ecuador's president is the same as Trump lol, nepo baby billionaire with no political experience. Surprise!
Mexico is just protecting there income they are a cartel state
ECUADOR BANANA REPUBLIC.
Please send Putin to an embassy there too… perhaps they will arrest him as well
I wonder if the president of Mexico had any forknowledge that this would happen. I believe Ecuador’s president is also a socialist. Not sure if the Mexican people understand what Socialism is.
This is my view as a conservative, law-abiding Ecuadorian who (like most of us) is currently suffering the metastatic growth of Mexican-bred narco-terrorism in Ecuador as a consequence of the blatant "cooperation" between Mexican drug cartels and the 14-year-long 21'st century socialist goverment, I would urge the viewers to consider the following:

"MULTILATERAL Convention on diplomatic asylum, No. 24377; Concluded at Caracas on 28 March 1954
Article III: It is not lawful to grant asylum to persons who, at the time of requesting it, are under indictment or on trial for common offenses or have been convicted by competent regular courts and have not served the respective sentence, nor to eserters from land, sea, and air forces, save when the acts giving rise to the request for asylum, whatever the case may be, are clearly of a political nature."
In this case this sorry excuse for a human being was CONVICTED for having embezeled hundreds of millions of USD and facilitating the growth of crime in our country, including the assasination of preseidential candidate FERNANDO VILLAVICENCIO. Let that sink in and if you have any doubts google "caso metastasis Ecuador" so you can analyze this more in depth…

You just don’t storm into an embassy like that. Low. Very low. Unlawful. Stop all dealings with Ecuador and its unlawful and corrupt government. Cannot do that to an embassy
what were you expecting from a 3rd world country like ecuador, when Julian asange was in their consulate in London the English goverment di not do that. the diference on a corrupt goverment
USA quiere convertir a ecuador el la ucrania de America, y los ecuatorianos como los ucranianos comiendosela toda, solo espero que mexico pueda evitar caer en la misma trampa que le pusieron a Russia.
Imagine to do this violation viena rights to 33uu o someone member uE ??????? What are they done ???????
I love México, but the government is a norcostate. Get the cartel out of your country
It’s all about who has the power then law doesn’t apply nothing new to me why are we all surprised?
This is unacceptable as a person who likes to travel and when your own embassy can’t be safe…
Ecuador president is an American citizen born in Miami Florida
Como siempre narcos
international law is above some kids small country ''fear''. unlike russia. theyre not bordering an country that will help avoid sanctions
According to the Asylum Convention of Caracas of 1954 and of Montevideo of 1933, Art. 3 says that asylum cannot be given to criminals already convicted or in the process of investigation. Mexico must stop giving asylum to the corrupt. Jorge Glass was already sentenced. It is not surprising that in Ecuador there are Mexican cartels creating chaos.
I am very worried because they can kil him.
He is in coma…
Wow! Ecuador made a big mistake breaking international agreement. I wonder who gave the green light to attack the embassy. Mexico breaking ties with Equador will hurt that little country for decades.
Ecuador doesn't even have an own flag…
The Mexican embajada was protecting a criminal like always
Iran has the right to defend from Israel embassy attack too
