La-CIA-contra-America-Latina-Capitulo-especial-Ecuador

Look, in Ecuador this is almost unknownWell, picture the embassy, right there, with, I don’t remember howmany floors, six or seven, and right there, in one of those floors, there arepeople like me working daily, oftentimes during the night and weekends.Are you telling me that right now they are doing the same?I would say yes. What they have to prevent now is the repetition ofwhat happened in Bolivia, I frankly don’t know the degree of effectivenessand indigenous communities’ organization in the country, but they choseMorales in Bolivia, supported by others of course, and some years ago I realizedthat indigenous communities in Ecuador had organized quite well.When I was there they had no organization, not an important organization.Well, there was a forceful indigenous uprising: the Carlos RodríguezParedes one, at Chimborazo province, but it is only a revolt aboutlands, but not a peasant organization itself.No, but I understand that involved a fine indigenous communitiesorganization, I think that happened in Cayambe, or with a powerful participationin Cayambe and Otavalo maybe. I couldn’t follow that throughthe years, but the key to political, economic and social structures changingin a country like Ecuador is the organization and democratic transitionto socialism. That’s something that seems odd for me to say, aftertalking about all what I was doing, but as I also said, there has been apolitical evolution that lasted several years.You mentioned that in a certain moment, for example, you managedto emit press releases for the Cardinal. Maybe you used Ecuador’s religiousfaith to induce acts and disturb the country situation? You referseveral times the Cardinal and his clear anticommunist stance. Did youuse religious faith in Ecuador?94
