TL;DR Summary

International leaders condemn Ecuador after police break into the Mexican Embassy in Quito to arrest a former vice president who had been granted political asylum, prompting Mexico to break off diplomatic relations with Ecuador. The raid has been widely condemned, with the Organization of American States and the U.S. State Department emphasizing the violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The Spanish foreign ministry also called for respect for international law and harmony between Mexico and Ecuador. The incident has raised concerns about Ecuador's president's actions ahead of reelection, and the former vice president has been taken to a maximum-security prison amid allegations of irregularities during his management of earthquake reconstruction efforts.
