The Foreign Minister of Ecuador, Gabriela Sommerfeld, confirmed that Jorge Glas, former vice president, remains at the Mexican Embassy in Quito. These statements were made after receiving the honorable mention Dolores Cacuango, at the UTE University, along with 35 other women distinguished for her work.
“Of course Jorge Glas is in the (Mexican) embassy,” said the head of the branch.
In addition, he confirmed that the dialogue remains open with the Mexican authorities. “Permanently, the dialogue will always be open. Each country has its position; legally bases its position. That does not mean that when there are differences diplomacy breaks down, when there are differences that is precisely where the dialogue table is and we maintain permanent, open communication, virtual dialogue, written dialogue and dialogue in informal spaces as you have seen.
When asked if they will reiterate the request to enter the embassy and arrest Jorge Glas, Sommerfeld indicated “It is better than at this moment in which there has been a lot of interpretation with particular visions and not with a general perspective that has caused a lot of noise around “A sensitive issue, do not speculate anymore and work on the channels that need to be worked on, which is in bilateral dialogue tables.”
The Mexican ambassador in Quito, Raquel Serur, referred to the issue and said that relations between Mexico and Ecuador are strong and confirmed that the dialogue between Ecuador and Mexico continues.
Glas entered the embassy on December 17, 2023, after having a location and detention order for investigative purposes in the Manabí Reconstruction case, after the 2016 earthquake. The request was issued by the Prosecutor’s Office. /The time.
