The Mexican president questioned that, unlike other leaders, the president of U.S, Joe Bidenand the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeaudid not speak out in person after the forced entry of Ecuadorian authorities into the Mexican Embassy.

“We do not allow this, we do not accept it”, he opined.

However, he highlighted that “in the case of the United States it was a document, a bulletin from the State Department, not condemning the interference, the assault, the invasion” of the embassy and, instead, “talking about seeking reconciliation”. “, but without speaking out against this authoritarian act.”

“Furthermore, President Biden did not do so, as did other leaders who expressed themselves openly, which is why we think they want to maintain relations, as they do with us, of friendship with Ecuador, despite an authoritarian attitude like the one we are seeing.”, he stressed.

Hours earlier, he stated that the Government of Ecuador felt “the support of other Governments or powers” ​​to invade the Mexican Embassy and take away former vice-president Jorge Glas (2013-2017), who had been in custody since December to protect of a criminal corruption case.

López Obrador, who broke ties with Ecuador on Friday, called Biden and Trudeau “speak openly”although he clarified that, “If they don’t, that’s okay.” It is “relations will continue.”

“They are free to express themselves or not, the only thing is that I have the responsibility to inform the people of Mexico where there was solidarity in a case as serious as this, where there was ambiguity and where, bluntly (put bluntly), the authoritarianism has been tolerated“, I argue.

He also indicated that Mexico “does not want the Monroe Doctrine to continue to be applied in America,” in which certain “authoritarian” rulers are tolerated and others are criticized.

“We cannot let an issue like this go by, we cannot remain silent, it would be cowardice if, in the face of such indignation, we remained silent and did not inform the people of Mexico about the behavior, the attitude, of other peoples and other governments.”he sentenced.
