Mexico City. The government of Mexico confirmed that the former vice president of Ecuador, Jorge David Glas Espinel, has been in its embassy in Quito since last December 17, where he went to request safeguarding, expressing fear for his safety and personal freedom.
“In accordance with the Mexican legal framework regarding international protection of persons, with the protocols of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) for this type of case, and with the pro-person principle enshrined in article 1 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, access to Glas Espinel was allowed as a guest,” said the Mexican Foreign Ministry.
