🇦🇷💥🇪🇨 — CRISIS IN LATAM: Ecuador's president Guillermo Lasso declared the Argentine Ambassador to Quito, Gabriel Fuks, “persona non grata,” giving the diplomat three days to leave the country.
The decision was made after María de los Ángeles Duarte, a former Ecuadorian minister convicted of corruption, fled to Venezuela after managing to leave the Argentine Embassy in Quito, where she stayed for more than two years with her underage son.
"Regretting the incomprehensible decision of the Ecuadorian government to request the withdrawal of Ambassador Fuks from Ecuador, we have decided to adopt the same situation with the ambassador of Ecuador to Argentina,” the Argentine Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Following this statement, the Ecuadorian government expressed outrage at the Argentine Chancellor and announced his expulsion, causing astonishment in the Chancellor.
