Storming of Mexican embassy in Quito ‘an invasion’, Ecuador’s ex-president Correa tells FRANCE 24
Following Ecuadorian authorities decision to storm Mexico’s embassy in Quito and arrest the country’s former vice president Jorge Glas on corruption charges, Ecuador’s exiled former president, Rafael Correa, told FRANCE 24 on Saturday that his ex-deputy “is an honest man” subject to “political persecution”. He also likened the raid on the embassy, which has been condemned by Mexico and prompted it to cut off its ties with the South American nation, to an invasion and said that under other circumstances it would have been “a cause for war”.
