A confrontation during a visit by Spanish diplomats to the Mexican ambassador's residence in Bolivia has pulled Spain into a diplomatic feud between Bolivia's conservative interim government and Mexico.
A sign announces Mexico's embassy where Bolivian police stand guard in La Paz, Bolivia, Thursday, Dec. 26, 2019. Mexico's Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said the agents, who also stand around the Mexican ambassador's residence, appear to threaten Mexico's right to give asylum to nine former officials of ousted leader Evo Morales.
Bolivian Foreign Minister Karen Longaric complained that Spanish diplomats were accompanied by masked and armed men on a visit to the residence, calling that an abuse of Bolivia’s sovereignty. She said a protest would be lodged with the European Union, United Nations and Organization of American States.
Bolivian officials accuse several of those inside the embassy of electoral fraud as well as sedition and terrorism for their alleged role in protests that followed Morales’ ouster.
