Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa has accused the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of being involved in opposition protests in the country with the aim of dragging it into chaos. "There is a CIA presence there [in Ecuador's opposition] which has a goal of weakening the government," Correa said on Saturday during his weekly presidential address....
Opposition mayors of the country’s major cities, Quito and Guayaquil, Mauricio Rodas and Jaime Nebot respectively, recently met, in which they signed a manifesto calling on all Ecuadoreans to join them in “restoring democracy.” Despite the recent destabilization efforts by the Ecuadorean opposition, a recent international survey conducted by the Association of Political Communication found that the president received 79 percent approval making him the world’s second most popular president of Ecuador. In 1963, the U.S. intelligence led a military coup in Ecuador, against the leftist
President Carlos Julio Arosemena Monroy, after the leader criticized the U.S. government and showed its support to Fidel Castro’s revolution in Cuba. In 2013, the Ecuadoran news agency ANDES, reported that the CIA was planning to murder Correa and destabilize the country in retaliation for the removal of a U.S. military base from the country in 2009, as well as his decision to grant asylum to WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange.....Telesur
