A hundred Mexicans protested today, Saturday, April 6, in front of the Embassy of Ecuador in Mexico to demand respect for the sovereignty of their country, in response to the police raid by Ecuadorian police forces at the Mexican Embassy in Quito, a fact that led to the breaking of diplomatic relations between both countries.
With shouts of “fascists”, “terrorists” and “Mexico is respected”, the protesters denounced the assault on the Mexican diplomatic headquarters in the Mexican capital as an “invasion” and a criminalization of Mexican solidarity and the right to asylum. political.
Citizen outrage
Ana Alvarado, one of the protesters, told Xinhua that she was “totally outraged” since she learned about what happened last Friday in Quito, when, in addition to breaking into the Mexican Embassy in Ecuador, police officers detained former Ecuadorian vice president Jorge Glas. , to whom Mexico had granted political asylum.
“I believe that solidarity cannot be criminalized and that is what the fascist government of Ecuador has done. Mexico is accused of having given asylum to a persecuted person and the way in which they broke in was cowardly and factious,” Alvarado stated.
The protester added that there are many Mexicans outraged by what happened, and that they will not allow this to go unpunished. “We tell our government that it has done the right thing by breaking diplomatic relations. “It is the most correct thing and we are here to support the decisions made by the Mexican government,” she said.
Mexican sovereignty
Chana Guevara, another of the participants in the protest in front of the Ecuadorian Embassy, called spontaneously on social networks, said that the assault on the Mexican Embassy in Quito is “a violation of Mexican sovereignty, given that the embassies They are the territory of the country they represent.”
“I feel wronged. It is not about seeing this in an individualistic context. “This is about my country, about Mexicans, and if this happens with a Mexican embassy, it can happen with any other embassy of another country,” she explained.
The citizen protest in front of the Embassy of Ecuador, in the Polanco neighborhood of the Mexican capital, took place peacefully in the presence of officers from the Mexico City Security Secretariat who have been guarding the building since this morning.
