Mexicans rally in support of government’s move to cut ties with Ecuador • FRANCE 24 English

Mexicans on Saturday rallied in Mexico City to voice support of their government’s decision to cut diplomatic ties with Ecuador after police broke into the Mexican Embassy in Quito to arrest a former Ecuadorian vice president. The raid prompted Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to announce the breaking off of diplomatic relations with Ecuador on Friday evening, while his government’s foreign relations secretary said the move will be challenged at the World Court in The Hague.

  1. This crowd is paid to be there by the ruling party. Most Mexicans are not supportive of using our embassies to harbor criminals. Yes, the raid was a bad move, but López Obrador is meddling in other countries’ domestic affairs.

  2. The fact is Mexico should not be getting involved and giving out asylum to someone who is under investigation. Mexico put themselves in this situation, diplomatic immunity is being abused and Ecuador did the right thing to send a clear message that harboring fugitives will come at a cost.

  3. 30% of Ecuador's GDP is from banana exports. The president is the billionaire owner of a banana exporter company. Boycott Ecuadorian bananas and the country's economy will collapse.

  4. Why you calll for war? Are you insane. We don't want war. It was a mistake but not a reason for war. All your hateful speech will damage more innocent people. Our country is going thru so much as it is and the whole world is attacking us. Please, no one was killed so don't make unnecessary comparisons with other international incidents to fuel more tension. Stop hating us.

  5. Wrong move, everyone knows Mexico is they top trading partner for the gringo state (U.S) Mexico regulates they immigration flow and its hegemony of the united states when it comes to Latin America.. Ecuador is done.

  6. You can thank the west and NATO for the end of diplomatic sanctity. BritIsh raided Ecuador embassy to arrest Assange. Israel bombed Iran embassy. Given the hatred of Russia I can see their embassies raided and diplomats being arrested ike this too. Maybe this was a test. The diplomatic system is coming to an end.
