Ecuador violated the inviolability of the Mexican diplomatic premises, as well as the historical right of asylum. Mexico is fully aware of this right and has exercised it with enthusiasm and, at times, perhaps excessively.
In our country, asylum for political refugees is a historical tradition and leitmotif. The consequences of the Ecuadorian assault have begun and will continue in time and scope. We have broken relations with Ecuador — which has happened before with countries like Spain, Chile, Nicaragua and Guatemala in their darkest moments.
