Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with Ecuador following the attack on its embassy in Quito to arrest former Vice President Jorge Glas.
The vice president and ambassador of Ecuador in Israel, Verónica Abad, was open to the possibility of foster dialogue con Mexico if he assumes the Presidency. She could temporarily assume presidential duties if the current president, Daniel Noboa, runs for re-election.
Mexico broke diplomatic relations with Ecuador after the assault on its embassy in Quito to arrest the former vice president Jorge Glas. At the local level, the Vice President maintains a marked distancing from Noboa since the campaign for the second round of elections.
In an interview with EFE, Abad said that It has cost a lot “to be able to look in the face” of the Mexican ambassador to Israel after the assault on the Mexican embassy in the capital of Ecuador. “In reality It’s a shame that Ecuador has been able to resolve its problems in this way,” he stressed, adding that a serious dialogue must be encouraged.
Abad commented that, if the case arises, he will analyze all the information, and it could be to foster rapprochement.
“That has to happen, the actions of either visiting us or asking them to visit us, or opening a gap, but something has to be done,” he said.
Asked whether, in her eventual capacity as interim head of state, she will seek open a door To resolve the diplomatic situation with Mexico, Abad responded: «Correct«.
Abad will not resign
At the beginning of this month, Noboa considered that Abad will resign by his own decision“She will get out on her own, I think,” he said in an interview when asked if he was seeking to remove Abad from office.
The vice president described that statement as “a direct threat” and stressed that will not resignso if he eventually becomes President on Noboa’s behalf, he outlines security, migration, health, education and employment as priority issues to address.
Wrapped in what appears to be a political labyrinthAbad feels that they are trying to close the circle around her to force her to resign, a possibility that she does not even consider, although she said she fears for her life.
Abad, who lives in Tel Aviv with two of his children, questioned that he had been security removed in Israel and that his son Sebastian, who was in preventive detention in La Roca, the country’s maximum security prison, does not have one in Ecuador either, as part of the investigations that are being carried out against him for the Nene case.
For the moment, he is concentrating on what other political or judicial issues could be added to the labyrinth he finds himself in: “They have already tried everything. What now, what continues, what else is there? That is why I fear for my life,” he added.
