Mexico grants political asylum to former vice president of Ecuador Jorge Glas. Glas was in charge of all the ministries of the strategic sectors between the Correa and Moreno governments.

The Ecuadorian police had orders to arrest him to appear in an investigation into the diversion of million-dollar funds intended for the reconstruction of Ecuador's coast after the brutal 2016 earthquake that left nearly 700 dead. The announcement comes in the midst of a diplomatic crisis between the two countries, after Daniel Noboa's Administration declared Raquel Serur, the Mexican ambassador in the country, persona non grata.
