Rafael Correa's official who escaped to Venezuela was received by Ambassador K Oscar Laborde

The former Minister of Transportation and Public Works of Ecuador, María de los Angeles Duarte Pesantes, who spent more than two years as a "guest" of the Argentine government at the embassy in Quito and from where she fled on Monday was on Tuesday at the Argentine Embassy in Caracas.

In her country, she is sentenced to serve eight years in prison for a case of private public corruption in which former President Rafael Correa is also sentenced. 

There she was received by Ambassador Oscar Laborde,

and Argentine consular officials in Caracas.

It was a request from the woman who, according to Clarín, thanked her for Alberto Fernández granting her asylum last year, but

It is only when he enters Argentine territory that an asylum request and grant is made.

Alberto F. gave it to him in August of last year and since then Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero asked the government of Guillermo Lasso and Minister Juan Carlos Holguín to give him a safe-conduct to leave the residence in Quito, now occupied by Ambassador Gabriel Fuks.​

The Lasso government always denied it and this Monday the woman left the residence, where she lived under the care of Argentina.

She was received by Chavismo in Venezuela, allies of Correa.

Although the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry is demanding information from Argentina on how the woman escaped from that country, Cafiero made it known in his call to Holguín on Monday that Duarte was not detained, that he was free to do what he wanted and that his problems They were with Ecuador.

Fuks, in turn, said that he did not speak to the woman about her leaving the residence, which was guarded by Ecuadorian police officers.

At the same time, the woman went through migration and appeared in a country, Venezuela, which does not border Ecuador.
