Correa Warns of Right-Wing Destabilization in Latin America

Correa Warns of Right-Wing Destabilization in Latin America
Published 14 May 2015

The Ecuadorean president warned against growing right-wing coordination against the region’s progressive governments.


Ecuador's President Rafael Correa warned Thursday during a televised interview that the right-wing of Latin America appears to be planning to destabilize the region's progressive governments.

“Just as the right wing, reactionary groups, elites, are uniting to restore conservativism, to stage a bourgeois rebellion, to defend (their concept of) liberty, human rights, democracy, their human rights, their concept of democracy, we must too unite,” said the president.

According to Correa, the different right-wing groups in the region appear to be coordinating their efforts.

The president explained that a series of actions organized by opposition movements and parties, from Brazil to Venezuela, have displayed similar strategies against progressive governments.

He should have some of fascist trolls around to set him straight. They'll tell him what the State Department, CIA, Exxon, and all sociopathic, greedy hustlers want him to think about the U.S. and its policies, they'll set him straight.
