I cannot stress this enough: What we are seeing in Ecuador is an attempt to steal an election from a popular leftist candidate.The US, OAS and Colombia are meddling in Ecuador's internal affairs.And the electoral body is conspiring with the 2nd/3rd place neoliberal candidates— Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) February 13, 2021
Arauz is centre left ("Correista") and won the first round with 30%, then you have the indigenous "leftist" Yaku Perez and fucking liberal (right wing/fascist) Lasso in 2nd/3rd with 20%.
Perez campaigned for Lasso in previous elections "cuz Correismo is the greater evil so we must ally with this fascist banker who want us dead, that's the logical thing to do, obviously" :capitalist-woke:
Some real malinchistas hours who up :pika-pickaxe:
And of course is expected that outaiders just see "indigenous leftist" and automatixally think that's the good guy.
Confused by all this? I sure af was. This pod ep lays it all out, including the interconnections with other neighbouring countries and exposes the model of future US Imperialism in the region. It's essential listening to understand the situation imo. Moderate Rebels pod - It's available in the podcast feed too. I listened to it twice to get it straight lol.
No, the popular leftsist guy is Arauz? RIght?

Yes. This coopting of indigenous and environmentalist issues is the new CIA playbook
Oh for fuck sakes he's cartoonishly bootlicker
This is exactly the play. They have been coopting Wiphala flags too in order to muddy the waters
They are the enemy in this case, anyone walking in lockstep with US foreign policy is to be looked at with extreme suspicion.
