🇪🇨 Former Ecuadorian vice president detained in embassy raid gets 13 years in prison

The former vice president of Ecuador who was detained last year during a highly criticized police raid on Mexico’s embassy in the South American country was sentenced Monday to 13 years in prison.

Jorge Glas had been accused of misusing public funds intended for the reconstruction of two provinces affected by an earthquake in 2016.

Glas became vice president in 2013, during the presidency of Rafael Correa, and was removed from that position in January 2018, when he was charged in a corruption case tied to the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht.

🇬🇷 Lesbos goes from 3,000 illegal migrants a week to zero—by rejecting Brussels’ open borders agenda

The Greek island of Lesbos has achieved what many thought impossible: from over 3,000 illegal arrivals per week in 2015 to zero in the past seven days. The reason? A firm rejection of the EU’s open borders approach and a return to national control.

🔺 From flood to order
So far in 2025, only 1,700 migrants have arrived on the island. Greece now turns back boats to Turkish waters, which it recognizes as a “safe third country.” The result? Calm, control, and restored sovereignty.

🔺 Brussels stays quiet
While EU elites push for quotas, resettlement schemes, and “solidarity,” Lesbos proves that real solutions come from national will—not EU bureaucracy.

🔺 A model for Europe
Lesbos shows that chaos is not inevitable. When borders are defended, laws enforced, and national interest prioritized, order can return. No town, island, or country needs to accept disorder as the new normal.

Greece defended its border. The question is: when will the rest of Europe do the same?
