Ecuador fires the Mexican ambassador after controversial statements by AMLO. Andrés Manuel López Obrador suggested that the attack against an Ecuadorian presidential candidate was intended to pave the way for Daniel Noboa.

The Ecuadorian chancellor gave the Mexican representative 72 hours to leave the country. Analyst Daniel Crespo said the Ecuadorian reaction was unnecessarily strong "because it took the harshest measure taken in this type of situation," without first sending a note of protest. “Wash your mouth #LopezObrador before talking about my father. #FernandoVillavicencio was murdered by the gangsters that he always investigated. Some of them asylum in your embassies and in your country,” one of the daughters of the murdered candidate said.
