Mexico declared Ecuador's raid on the embassy an authoritarian act and violation of international law. President Lopez Obrador plans to file a complaint at the International Court of Justice.
Ecuador defended its raid on Mexico's embassy, arguing Mexico had no right to grant asylum to the former vice president facing corruption charges.
Former Ecuadorian vice president Jorge Glas was hospitalized after not eating for 24 hours in prison. He had been living in the Mexican embassy under political asylum.
The raid on the embassy has stirred international concern, seen as a breach of the Vienna Convention. Mexico suspended diplomatic relations with Ecuador amid the diplomatic row.
