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

15 years of stability between 1948 and 1961 were destroyed, one of themost stable periods of Ecuador. Weren’t you sowing this instability?Well, one should start by understanding that the US doesn’t careabout democracy, namely, it can serve in a sense, but when they speak ofdemocracy, have a very special definition about what democracy is. Wehave seen all this criticism of government to Hugo Chavez in Venezuela,there has been about eight elections since 1998 in Venezuela, he haswon every: free, fair and certified by international observers and others,but in Washington say it is undemocratic. Now, that’s a lie, but that’s theattitude assumed when the democratic electoral process does not servetheir interests, what they want to control in Venezuela is oil and is alsovery important in Ecuador, Colombia and other countries: if democracydoes not serve their interests is thrown away, and they supported thetwo military coups when I stayed precisely because the government ofVelasco Ibarra and Arosemena did not meet with the things we did inthe country.Didn’t the actions of the CIA turn Ecuador into and ungovernablecountry?Since I left I don’t know the situation so well to answer that with certainty.Undoubtedly there has been instability since I left, and there hasbeen, as you said, military dictatorship, return to democracy and thenRoldós. Ecuador did have all those years of continued stability beforethe coup against Velasco Ibarra, but we did not care that Velasco waselected democratically or that Arosemena, as its Vice President, has risento the Presidency or the coup against Arosemena.Then what did you care about?What mattered was the matter of internal security in the country102
