The Communist Party of Cuba and its leader, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, joined countries like Nicaragua, Honduras, Spain and the Organization of American States in denouncing the decision of the government of Ecuador to launch a full scale police assault on the Mexican embassy in Quito to illegally seize former Ecuadorian vice-president Jorge Glas.
Both Mexico and Nicaragua have severed diplomatic ties with Ecuador over the action.
The Communist Party of Cuba strongly condemns the incursion into the embassy of Mexico in Ecuador by the forces of law and order of that country, which constitutes a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Mexican State, of International Law and of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
All Cuba's solidarity with Mexico was expressed, through social media networks, by the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, before the intervention by force of the Ecuadorian police in the Mexican diplomatic headquarters in Ecuador.
The Cuban Head of State described as "unacceptable" the violation of the Embassy in Quito and warned that "the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which is an essential component of International Law, must be respected by all."
Regarding this unacceptable action, the member of the Political Bureau and Secretary of Organization, Roberto Morales Ojeda, and the head of the Department of International Relations of the Central Committee of the Party, Emilio Lozada García, also expressed their most energetic rejection on the social network X. In addition, they expressed their solidarity with Mexico, its President and the comrades of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA).
On the night of April 5, Ecuadorian military forces forcibly broke into the Mexican Embassy in Quito, with the aim of arresting Jorge Glas, former vice president of Ecuador, who was in asylum.
