Ecuador has declared Mexico's ambassador to Quito persona non grata over recent statements made by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and says she will be leaving the country “shortly.”
Ecuador on Thursday declared Mexico's ambassador to Quito persona non grata due to recent statements made by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and said she will be leaving the country “shortly.” López Obrador's remarks were about the 2023 presidential elections in the Andean country and the killing of Ecuador's former presidential candidate, Fernando Villavicencio.
In his remarks, López Obrador questioned how the assassination of Villavicencio days before the first round of elections in August 2023 influenced voting trends. Ecuador elections in October were won by Daniel Noboa, an inexperienced politician and heir to a fortune built on banana trade. The ministry statement further said Ecuador “is still grieving' Villavicencio's assassination, which has “threatened democracy, peace and security” of the nation.
