Colombia bungles conspiracy to meddle in Ecuador's election
by Adriaan Alsema February 15, 2021

Mafia puppet president Ivan Duque had already isolated himself after his far-right Democratic Center party meddled in the US presidential election in November last year in opposition of President Joe Biden.
An apparent conspiracy between government-loyal weekly Semana and presumably the president’s National Intelligence Directorate (DNI) backfired after Ecuador’s prosecutor general claimed that a late mid-level commander of guerrilla groups ELN invested in the campaign of the leading candidate in the Ecuadorean elections six weeks after his death.
A week before Ecuador’s first round of elections, weekly Semana, published unsubstantiated claims that mid-level guerrilla commander ELN Uriel sought to invest $80,000 in the campaign of presidential candidate Andres Arauz.
