Fernando Yepez | What happened with Glas is an act of barbarism
0:00
we are going to make contact with the ex
0:01
vice chancellor Fernando yepez to whom
0:04
we give the most cordial welcome
0:06
Unfortunately in these circumstances
0:08
Fernando is a unfortunate situation
0:10
how do you analyze how do you see the panorama
0:12
What implications does it have for Ecuador and
0:15
for the world a circumstance of this
0:17
nature
0:19
welcome very good morning Orlando Very
0:21
good morning to all of you, thank you very much
0:23
for the kind invitation I really did
0:26
What has happened is an act of barbarism
0:29
Contrary to civilized coexistence
0:32
the norms of international law that
0:34
It affects not only the image of
0:38
International of Ecuador and that a
0:41
image of shame of barbarism which
0:43
we are presenting to the world but
0:46
seriously affects coexistence in the
0:49
region and in the entire world there is no
0:52
precedent of an act like the one that has
0:54
happened last night in Ecuador nor the
0:56
most Terrible dictatorships in the Southern cone
1:00
They dared to invade an embassy and
1:02
remove a person with the force that
1:05
had nothing but politics and attacking the
1:07
foreign diplomats at their headquarters
1:10
diplomatic this does not have
1:13
precedent and will have very serious consequences
1:15
serious for Ecuador for the region
1:18
for the proper execution of the right
1:20
international regarding this
1:22
So let's take into consideration two
1:24
things the government statement
1:26
national talks about this happening in the
1:28
framework of an internal armed conflict
1:30
This draws attention, we have talked
1:32
Since dawn with some colleagues
1:33
Mexicans to try to explain to them
1:36
they what What is it that is a conflict
1:39
internal assembly And why is this used
1:41
figure to justify the emergence of
1:43
police and military forces within
1:45
the embassy of Mexico from your
1:46
perspective and in your condition as ex
1:48
vice chancellor this armed conflict
1:51
internal is pabulum to justify a
1:55
action of this nature or how
1:57
we understand this
1:58
argument in no way gives rise to
2:01
what the statement has been acted upon is
2:04
One is ridiculous, the statement is not
2:06
only that it is poorly done but that the
2:08
statement ratifies and corroborates the
2:11
violation of international law
2:14
barbaric act committed It is really
2:17
the presidential statement does not
2:19
more than highlighting how it has been
2:21
acted in such a mean way and
2:24
contrary to coexistence
2:26
civilized has nothing to do with
2:28
armed conflict with the emergence of
2:30
armed conflict in quotes no and with
2:33
the irruption the invasion of a headquarters
2:35
diplomacy and the kidnapping of a senate
2:38
political and being like that then the other
2:41
question that will always be latent
2:43
in these circumstances already after
2:44
the event of what has occurred
2:46
said the Mexican chancellor of what has
2:48
President Andrés Manuel himself said
2:50
López Obrador What are the
2:52
immediate consequences of this good
2:55
The first consequence that we already see is
2:57
the immediate breakdown of relationships
2:58
diplomatic eh from Mexico with Ecuador
3:01
which is very serious and for the
3:04
circumstances in which they occur and why
3:06
the traditional connection that unites the
3:08
two countries two brother countries that have
3:11
worked shoulder to shoulder in the
3:15
construction Well, from Latin America and
3:17
Additionally, it is put in a
3:20
Well, at the lowest possible level in
3:24
the treatment of affairs eh
3:26
joint importance bilateral issues
3:29
the immigration issue, for example, is to say
3:33
What has happened is unprecedented and
3:36
The consequences will be very serious
3:38
breakdown of relations will continue from
3:40
then other international actions that
3:42
the government of Mexico will define
3:44
opportunely announced since he would go to the
3:47
International Court of Justice with
3:49
security will go to the organizations
3:50
international regional and universal
3:53
will surely go to the mechanisms of
3:56
concertation and political dialogue in the
3:57
region what has happened is very serious
4:00
and it can't happen Eh without there being a
4:05
reaction in the international community
4:07
in fact there has already been the reaction of
4:11
heads of state and personalities from all over
4:14
the region and the world in which they condemn
4:17
the attitude of the Ecuadorian government
4:20
reject the violation of the right
4:21
international reject this barbarity
4:24
of having invaded a diplomatic mission
4:27
Yes, in fact, the president of Honduras and
4:30
the president of Colombia Gustavo Petros
4:31
in expressed his account of
4:33
explain and regret the situation
4:36
occurred but it is actually there a
4:38
topic under discussion what will they do as they have
4:40
occurred in other circumstances with the
4:42
celac Before there was a South those
4:44
instances for treatment of
Mexico breaks diplomatic ties with Ecuador, after breaking into the Mexican embassy.
Mexico breaks diplomatic ties with Ecuador, after the Ecuadorian National Police entered the Mexican embassy in Quito without consent, to arrest the former vice president of Ecuador, Jorge Glas, to whom the Mexican Government had granted political asylum. Jorge Glas is being prosecuted for alleged embezzlement of funds in the “Reconstruction” case of the province of Manabí, after the 2016 earthquake.
4:44
instances for treatment of
4:46
differences between governments
4:47
You can actually appeal to those
4:50
celac meetings for example since the
4:52
unasur is inactive or to what organization
4:55
you can appeal or file a
4:58
possibility to resolve this
5:01
crisis I believe that la la celac is a
5:04
forum that is called to know this
5:07
issue that affects coexistence in the
5:11
region is chaired by Honduras and the
5:14
President Siana Castro and has made a
5:17
very firm statement on the matter
5:19
I believe that celac is one of the
5:21
ideal settings for treatment
5:23
of this of this very serious event
5:27
for the region and the world now one of
5:30
the things that also attract attention
5:31
In these circumstances it is that for
5:33
justify and also legitimize the action
5:37
what happened the national government eh points out
5:40
and cites article 3 of the convention
5:43
political asylum of 1954 but if you forget
5:46
of article 4 and this is what in
5:47
Mexico in these moments of what I
5:49
Mexican colleagues are commenting
5:51
speaking in the media in the analyzes
5:54
media at this moment in Mexico is
5:55
say article 4 is deleted it is mutilated
5:59
when explaining this situation
6:01
because what article 4 says is that
6:02
the classification of the crime is given
6:05
solely and exclusively by the state that
6:07
gives asylum, which implies that in these
6:10
circumstances politically and
6:11
diplomatically it is not considered the
6:13
article 4 of the asylum convention
6:15
politician Well really Ecuador
6:18
It's like chambona diplomacy
6:20
with a diplomacy
6:22
hey he doesn't know how to act
6:26
communiqués from the foreign ministry on the
6:28
two recent cases of asino first
6:31
by María de los Ángeles Duarte and now
6:33
that of Jorge Glas has partially cited
6:36
the Caracas convention did not even
6:38
the entire third article has been cited
6:41
completely in the communications of the
6:43
chancery because the article itself
6:46
third points out that there is a reservation in
6:50
in cases where crimes
6:52
therefore have a political motivation and the
6:56
fourth article is very clear
6:58
specify what corresponds to the State
7:01
insulator the qualification of whether or not
7:05
political whether there is or is not persecution
7:08
norms of articles 4, 9 and 12 of the
7:11
Caracas convention are unequivocal and
7:14
They leave no doubt as to what the
7:17
procedure for granting asylum
7:20
and the respective issuance of the
7:24
safe conduct there is no doubt about it
7:27
Ecuador is in trouble against the law
7:31
international when you mention that
7:33
word Fernando seems to me to be key
7:34
explain it when it is mentioned is in
7:37
Rebellion with international law and
7:39
I mentioned you and asked you the question
7:40
What consequences can this bring?
7:42
Indeed it is very hard to say it very
7:45
hard to hear and I have messages
7:47
impressive I'm going to tell you with
7:48
frankness and also with the affection that we
7:50
we have to This makes me ashamed
7:53
because the things that I'm hearing and
7:55
I'm watching from Mexico it's very
7:57
painful how they treat us children
7:59
We know that we are not all like that, the proof
8:02
It's here that you are talking about your ex
8:03
Vice Chancellor of the Republic of
8:05
Ecuador when you say Ecuador declared
8:07
in Rebellion in international law
8:08
that
8:10
implies implies that the behavior of the
8:12
Ecuadorian State is contrary to the
8:15
norms of international law is
8:18
contrary to the rules that regulate the
8:20
coexistence in the community
8:22
international, that is, Ecuador
8:24
becomes a pariah in the region and the
8:27
world, Ecuador does not
8:29
the rules that regulate the life of the
8:33
international community and that
8:36
Rebellion carries consequences of order
8:39
political order legal order
8:42
economic order in the exam and
8:45
treatment of all topics
8:47
common interest now based on everything
8:50
what we are talking about to where
8:52
What the statement indicates is that no
8:56
can stand criminals can't
9 o'clock
have acts of corruption this arrest
9:02
by Jorge Glas how is it going to be explained
9:04
politically to the country when what
9:07
The appropriate procedure in this case is to negotiate
9:09
diplomatic terms this is negotiated
9:11
Fernando You know that there are negotiations
9:13
in between they are not public, progress is made
9:15
it is said and at the end when they finish
9:17
negotiations can obviously be
9:19
say let's make a decision
9:20
we declare persona non grata already
9:22
they took but invading is not part of the
9:25
negotiation for
9:26
course invade has no name it is a
9:29
ignominy is a violation because Bárbara
9:32
of all the rules of law
9:34
international as I said before
9:36
nor the harshest most extreme dictatorships
9:40
they dared to do such an act
9:42
nature clear clear There is no way to
9:45
explain or justify what happened
9:47
It is really unacceptable and what
9:50
you said a moment ago not only
9:52
which is unacceptable but full of
9:54
shame to Ecuador. It is an affront to the
9:58
dignity of the country and its
10:01
legal status as a country of asylum
10:05
refuge and promoter and defender of
10:07
international law and rights
10:09
Human race table has been made here
10:12
the history of Ecuador of our
10:14
position of our prestige
10:16
international of our external image
10:18
and really today we live a moment of
10:21
shame for the country 7 in the morning
10:23
With 39 minutes we talked with the ex
10:25
Vice Chancellor of the Republic of
10:26
Ecuador Fernando Yepez we already love him
10:28
consult never before had a
10:31
thing of this nature in America
10:32
Latina am I wrong or
10:34
not a case of invasion of a headquarters
10:38
diplomatic I do not understand that in the decade
10:41
in the 70s there were some episodes in the
10:44
gardens of an embassy in a
10:47
Hot chase but an invasion
10:50
premeditated like what has happened
10:52
last night he doesn't have
10:54
precedent it seems that guillom long
10:56
mentioned that not even the dictator could
10:59
the famous Ella de la Torre case
11:01
She dared to enter the embassy of
11:03
Colombia of course because some of them are
11:06
let's say from the extreme right of the
11:08
Ecuador said why don't they mention when
11:10
The Ecuadorian embassy was invaded in
11:12
Cuba when it was invaded by
11:14
Cuban citizens who invaded
11:16
But no military forces entered there
11:18
at the Ecuadorian headquarters in Havana
11:20
truth has no comparison and really
11:24
it's it's embarrassing
11:26
eh sad and worthy of all rejection
11:31
pronouncements of certain false
11:33
communicators who not only
11:35
they demonstrate ignorance but such hatred
11:38
irrational and so little support and respect for his
11:41
country and the right that they come to say
11:43
terrible atrocities some come to
11:47
make fun of aggression
11:48
another Mexican diplomat believes that
11:52
This is justified because surely in
11:54
the embassy in quotes the embassy
11:56
of the United States refers did not give
11:58
permission for this to happen is to say things
12:01
Well, without a name, no others indicate that it is
12:05
a haven for criminals the embassy has
12:06
lost its its functions all that is
12:09
totally out of place because Jorge
12:14
glass enjoys asylum granted
12:18
sovereignly by the government of Mexico
12:21
and in accordance with the regulations
12:23
international now to close
12:25
Jorge, one of the things I lost when I was fond of
12:28
the things that is what is going to happen to him
12:31
Vice President Jorge Glas from
12:33
this event he becomes
12:35
a political asylum prisoner that what
12:39
implies good
12:42
It really has no precedent
12:44
the president's government took place
12:46
nooa is responsible for the integrity
12:49
physical
12:50
and vice president glas today for the
12:54
Ecuador is a prisoner of justice
12:57
Well he is
12:59
for the world an asylum has been
13:02
kidnapped which is extremely serious
13:05
from every point of view 7 in the morning
13:08
With 41 minutes he just informed me that
13:10
Indeed, former vice president Jorge
13:12
glas has come out of the unit
13:14
flagrancy let's reaffirm this let's go
13:16
to stay in touch with our
13:17
colleagues we have images there in
13:19
screen of this moment when exiting
13:21
6 in the morning and 20 minutes in the morning
13:24
tomorrow comes out of the fragrance unit
13:26
Look at the mobilization, look at the
13:29
military deployment really kicks that
13:32
this in human terms is painful
13:35
this way you cannot treat a
13:37
former vice president This is a situation
13:40
very regrettable, you may say that we are
13:41
in whatever but transfer to a
13:45
person with
13:46
that number of vehicles with that
13:49
number of soldiers we would have already
13:52
wanted to move to others
13:55
criminals who have been identified
13:57
I hope they find and transfer him from the
14:00
same way but a former vice president does not
14:02
You deserve it, I say it personally.
14:04
This is very painful, very unfortunate that
14:06
this occurs but they are also observed
14:08
images of people who support the
14:12
former vice president with the flag of
14:13
Ecuador there are close people
14:16
perhaps sympathizers of the former
14:17
Vice President Jorge Glas and an amount
14:20
huge number of journalists who record and
14:21
They film the moment he is taken out of the
14:24
flagrancy unit, what provokes you
14:27
Fernando, which also implies I insist with
14:29
the word of the implications of everything
14:31
This is very serious, what does it mean for him?
14:33
country for the history of this country for
14:35
democratic sensitivity
14:36
a situation like this
14:38
dimension generates pain rejection of
14:42
contemplate how to write a page
14:45
shame in the history of Ecuador
14:48
pure and simple fascism what we are
14:52
seeing now based on all this
14:54
Diego gave birth closing Jorge Fernando next
14:56
with the name of Jorge gl Fernando in
14:59
Based on all this, what could the
15:01
Mexican government what should it do
15:04
these moments if it were tried
15:06
restore an order
15:09
traditional normal of relationships
15:12
diplomatic relations between the two countries
15:14
apology period How are they resolved
15:15
these conflicts in practice Look
15:18
They are not really conflicts that
15:20
resolved easily Because here
15:23
has acted so thoughtlessly so
15:25
out of place so in so violation in
15:29
such a flagrant violation of the law that
15:32
The reaction is an attack on Mexico
15:35
immediate breakup of relationships is the
15:37
first answer and that answer no
15:39
it will end there as I pointed out
15:42
previously Mexico will examine and see A
15:45
What authorities are going to take up this issue now?
15:48
The International Court has announced it
15:49
of Justice there will be the instances
15:51
regional all of this is part of what
15:54
What is going to happen, this is not solved
15:57
with an apology period this is
15:59
tremendously serious and there is also the
16:02
case then
16:02
Jorge glass what's going to happen to
16:05
Jorge, all this is very very serious, very
16:09
painful and we will have to wait for the development
16:11
of the events but I have the
16:13
certainty that Mexico that counts
16:17
unlike what happens with our
16:19
country in recent years with a
16:20
chancery that works what it is
16:22
professional who is respected who has
16:25
prestige is going to take action
16:27
necessary to defend the dignity of
16:30
his country the dignity and integrity of
16:32
Jorge gl and restore what never
16:35
must have broken the connection
16:38
fraternal that unites two brother peoples
16:41
Thank you very much Fernando, very kind
16:42
for answering this invitation this hour 7
16:44
in the morning with 45 minutes of this
16:46
Saturday, April 6, incidentally, it happened
16:48
yesterday I sent you a hug we are
16:49
pending of course your contact
16:51
always cordially invited to analyze
16:53
the situation of this country based on
16:55
what relationships entail
