According to information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE), 29 countries — including Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Uruguay, and Argentina — the European Union, and eight organizations have spoken out in favor of Mexico. The illegal break-in to our embassy was a flagrant violation of sovereignty, the right to asylum, and international treaties. It may be that those who made that decision are ill advised. We will soon file the corresponding complaint with the International Court of Justice. In addition, we will request the support of the foreign ministries and the countries of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and we will send a letter to the Secretary General of the United Nations (UN) to present himself before all member countries, the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly. We are proud of the performance of the Mexican diplomatic corps that represented us in Ecuador, a country with noble people whom we respect. The legal situation of former Vice President Jorge David Glas Espinel, who was sheltered in the Mexican embassy under the figure of guest and political asylum, will be resolved by the corresponding international body. In order to provide service to around 1,600 compatriots and 30 companies in Ecuador, the Mexican embassies in Chile, Colombia and Peru enabled their services. For now, face-to-face documents will not be issued in Ecuador and attention will be digital. The Mexican government suspended consular services and relations, while demanding respect for the premises, property and archives of the embassy in Ecuador, which was closed indefinitely. We will not apply the same measures in the case of the Ecuadorian embassy in Mexico and called on the population to remain calm. In due time, the Ecuadorian authorities will make decisions on the matter without any external pressure. We witnessed the total solar eclipse in Mazatlán, Sinaloa. It is a privilege to live to tell about it. In this state, inhabited by hard-working and good people, we monitored the security situation. We call on not to stigmatize the state, which stands out for its contribution to national development by being the number one producer of food in the country. It currently occupies the 24th position in the total number of crimes of impact at the national level. The crimes of wilful homicide, vehicle theft, human trafficking and kidnapping are on the decline, according to data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System corresponding to February.
