In an exclusive interview with LA HORA, Foreign Minister Gabriela Sommerfeld offered details about the situation of the former vice president of Ecuador, Jorge Glas. She indicated that until now there is no official information about the alleged kidnapping of 95 Ecuadorian migrants in Mexico.
The Chancellor of the Republic, Gabriela Sommerfeldindicated this Friday to LA HORA that the case of the former vice president of Ecuador, Jorge Glas“is reviewed” together with a delegation of the government of Mexico.
In this sense, the chancellor reiterated that the government of Ecuador maintains its position on the situation of Glas in the country, who would not meet the necessary conditions to receive the asylum he requested when he entered the Embassy of Mexico in Quito, to avoid responding to the Ecuadorian justice.
Sommerfeld specified that both the Association of Ambassadors of Ecuador “they decisively support the position of the Government and the Foreign Ministry, there is a country’s position on this issue, we are talking about a common crime case and we do not see that there is a legal basis for it to be grant asylum and that position is maintained.”
The Chancellor highlighted that they maintain an “open and cordial” dialogue with the Mexican authorities and specified that “a mission has come these two days, precisely sent by the Chancellor of Mexico, Alicia Bárcena, to address this and other issues.”
