Spain on Sunday condemned the raid carried out by Ecuadoran security forces at Mexico's embassy in Quito to arrest graft-accused former vice president Jorge Glas and called for "respect for international law".

“The forced entry into the Mexican Embassy in Quito is a violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. We call for respect for international law and concord between Mexico and Ecuador, sister countries of Spain and members of the Ibero-American community,” the foreign ministry said in a statement

Special forces equipped with a battering ram on Friday surrounded the embassy, and at least one agent scaled the walls, in an almost unheard-of raid on diplomatic premises that are considered inviolable sovereign territory.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
