In recent weeks, Latin America has been embroiled in a series of diplomatic incidents, but none have been as dramatic as Ecuador's decision to raid Mexico's embassy, a move that has sparked outrage and raised concerns about diplomatic norms in the region.
The incident, which took place in Quito, saw Ecuadorian police forcibly arresting Jorge Glas, Ecuador's former vice president, who was seeking asylum at the Mexican embassy. The surveillance footage of the raid showed a physical altercation between the police and the Mexican mission's top diplomat, highlighting the unprecedented nature of the operation.
