Raise a Glass to Malbec! Malbec World Day, April 17 | SaltWire #reels #shorts #wine #foodTEGUCIGALPA - Honduras is recalling its senior diplomat in Ecuador, the Central American country's foreign minister announced on Tuesday, in the latest action taken in response to Ecuador's shocking raid this month on the Mexican embassy in Quito.

Foreign Minister Enrique Reina said the Honduran business manager, Clarivel Vallecillo, who has been stationed at the embassy, will return to Tegucigalpa for consultations, stressing that Honduras backs Mexico's recently-filed case against Ecuador in the U.N.'s International Court of Justice.

Glas, twice convicted of corruption and now facing fresh charges, had sought refuge in the embassy since late last year. The government of Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa has argued that Mexican officials had illegally granted Glas protection at their embassy. Late last week, a court in Ecuador ruled that the dramatic arrest of Glas was illegal, but added he must remain in jail due to his previous convictions. Glas' lawyer pledged to appeal the ruling.
