The hospital will draw me "corpse or president," said the chief executive of Ecuador Rafael Correa. In a show of courage and lucidity, and before a cheering crowd that, after being rescued by military forces, again denounced "an attempted coup by a group of police officers, victims of a formidable campaign of disinformation." Correa accused in a fiery speech by National Radio opposition groups close to former president Lucio Gutierrez for this miserable rebellion. Meanwhile, the people sang "Correa, a friend, the people are with you." And no doubt left that this was so.
"can cut the flowers but can not stop the spring," he said quoting a few hours before Neruda. "They can kill the president but the important thing is the cause, and after I come Correa thousand more will come thousands of revolutionaries, of citizens who will continue with our project." "I will not surrender," "I prefer death to abandon my principles." He came to tell the police to offer the breast "If want to kill the president, shoot ... here it is! ". would have to go back to the figure of Salvador Allende to find so great magnanimity and generosity.
The sequence of events we live yesterday began when a group of police force took the Regiment Number 1 in the city of Quito to protest the denial of the veto of a law providing for elimination of bonuses and promotions. The fact that so far may sound simple sectoral demands, it was actually an excuse to carry out a clear attempt coup. During the day, the outrage among the public was growing to be known as Rafael Correa was injured by police and needed medical assistance. Kidnapped in the Police Hospital with a wound on his eyebrow and certain complications in his recently operated knee was seriously feared for his life. He remained there until almost midnight a group of soldiers, after 35 minutes of gunfire, rescued him.
not have to be international policy analyst take for granted that this is a clear attempt to silence the voice of Ecuador and its President, who has been facing to the interventionist policy of the United States in the region and the typical native oligarchies . Destabilization attempts as they only seek to roll back to our region to era of coups, now under other formulas, to restore the rule of the groups power forever.
UNASUR meeting in Buenos Aires with the presidents of the continent, supported by clear and convincing to Correa. Evo Morales, with his usual courage did not hesitate in declaring that this strike is directed "to the anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist presidents" and "seeks to remove the ALBA-TCP and UNASUR.
should not be surprised at this point in our history the events of Ecuador. Are there no parallel scenarios, comparable to the rest of most of our Latin American countries? Are not crouching and threatening to many groups operating Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina and to resist to the end of the shame they do not have to defend the privileges they have always enjoyed?
Right is so identical to herself that their scenarios are an anecdote. Has an exact modus operandi in the geography that they present. By such and such sordid motives to those claimed in Ecuador killed many here. Prodded, tortured, raped, abused, stolen babies, disappeared thousands, shot dead and dormant sea, asphalted streets on human remains, they put electric shock to pregnant women, planted a country with concentration camps, they put us in an absurd war. And now come to say we are in a dictatorship because Bonafini said he had to take the court. In the past, the best were the jerks and now come to give lectures on etiquette. They look so much, I say, this murderous right Ecuador with our own. They are so alike, so cloned. Luckily
yesterday in front of them was a man and a people. I got out of hospital "corpse or president," he said. And no one is certainly more president that never came. More himself, more mail, more people. The world knows by this time if cruelty is the strength of the fearful, the truth is the secret of free men.
