Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno said today that his government would continue granting asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, but stated that perhaps the Australian is abusing that condition.

“We have asked him, cordially, to stop commenting on the politics of Ecuador or the policy of friendly countries, because his condition does not allow it,” Moreno said in an interview with CNN.
