Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa's decision to raid the Mexican embassy in Quito has sparked significant international repercussions, including Colombia, led by its first left-wing president Gustavo Petro, suspending bilateral relations with Ecuador. Petro, amid his own domestic challenges with Congress and police reform, emphasized the global concern triggered by the incident. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador described the assault as a serious violation of international law and has sought support from Latin American and Caribbean leaders, including Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, while also initiating legal action that could lead to Ecuador's expulsion from the United Nations unless a public apology and assurances against repeat offenses are provided.
