Anti-Correa opposition attempts to
stir up chaos and anarchy in Ecuador
QUITO, March 15. — The most recent maneuvers by
members of the right-wing opposition and former
Ecuadorian congress members are aimed at spreading
rumors to cause a financial panic and blame it on
the government.
Correa discounts bank shutdown
in Ecuador |
That
was the situation denounced by Ecuadorian President
Rafael Correa, who accused the congress members
removed by the Supreme Electoral Court of being
irresponsible, anti-patriotic liars.
In a
message broadcast from Carondelet Palace, the
president affirmed that the opposition and a group
of 57 deposed legislators were beginning to send
messages and make phone calls aimed at announcing a
bank shut-down in the country.
After categorically refuting such a shut-down, the
president emphasized that “there is not, there will
not be and we will never allow another bank
shutdown. “Here there is a patriotic government
that will never again allow Ecuadorians to be
waylaid,” he affirmed, on recalling that the
perpetrators of these lies were precisely “those who
in 1999 and 2000, destroyed the Ecuadorians’ economy
with the bank shutdown.
Correa, whose has been in power for 60 days this
Thursday, noted that it is simply about mafias with
economic and political power, who refuse to die and
are trying to destabilize his executive, while
confirming that the economy is in excellent health.
