Congress is rearming itself around an opposition bloc, arising from its rejection of the president's advance. Daniel Noboa ordered the assault on the Mexican embassy in Quito to capture Jorge Glas.

The first warning has come from the legislative group of Revolución Ciudadana. “We declare ourselves in opposition within the National Assembly to his Government, Mr. Noboa,” said Viviana Veloz, vice president of the Legislature. It does not solve the country's biggest problem: the insecurity crisis.
