During an interview on Blu Radio, former Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo analyzed President Gustavo Petro's stance on the presidential elections in Ecuador, where Daniel Noboa was reelected. Murillo called for prudence in diplomatic statements and defended the importance of maintaining stable relations in the region.
The former official noted that, although Petro did not officially recognize the results, Ecuador did meet democratic standards. He emphasized that the process included international observers, including technical missions from the European Union, which ensured transparency and effective participation.
Murillo differentiated the Ecuadorian situation from the Venezuelan one, highlighting that the elections in Ecuador were held with greater guarantees. In contrast, he recalled that in Venezuela the same level of oversight was not allowed, which affects the credibility of its electoral process.
