• President Noboa has plunged Ecuador into a regional and internal crisis with his assault on the Mexican embassy in Quito.
• The arrest of former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas is a breach of the American Convention on Asylum and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
• The operation has caused international condemnation and the break of the pact with the opposition that promised stability after the tumultuous exit of Guillermo Lasso.
• The arrest of Glas sets a dangerous precedent that could inspire neighboring autocracies.
• Although Noboa presented himself as a beacon of hope for poverty reduction and the reduction of drug cartels' influence, his Bukele-style security policies and recent violations of international law cast doubt on his illiberal approach.

Conclusion: Ecuador's future is under threat due to President Noboa's anti-democratic drift and his blatant violation of international laws.
