00:00:00years since I was born to remember
00:00:04the deceased, my grandparents most of all, thanks to
00:00:07God, they are my grandparents and we have always
00:00:11come to remember. This time it's my mother-in-law
00:00:14here in the niche, in the little flames of my mother-in-law Juana
00:00:18Quispe and recently, 4 years ago, my father-in-law
00:00:21passed away, Modesto Lucana. And we
00:00:24always remember them, we always come here and we
00:00:27make the tantahuas.
00:00:30As if to say that my father-in-law is
00:00:33a little bit of water, the other
00:00:35works, now the little tantahua of my
00:00:37fall of the Berlin Wall and the mother-in-law, of everyone, the horses so that
00:00:40they come in that, and the stairs for them to
00:00:44important part, control of go down, and many things are missing here, but it's what
00:00:47one can do right now, no, all the
00:00:50food is shared with the people who come to pray, yes, it's like
00:00:54if right now I'm going to give to the gentleman who prayed for me, I'm going
00:00:59modest conditions in which to give him this, it's as if he was making me pray and he's going to leave loaded, no
00:01:03right now on the horses, on the stairs everything
00:01:06will be loaded with all that we are making of salt, very good,
00:01:11Montesquieu was, against which well, give it to him so that we can show the people who watch
00:01:15example, the finances of Telesur, this is the ceremony that is
00:01:18Espinel, who is imprisoned in repeated, I insist in the
00:01:21cemeteries, the food that they brought from
00:01:24home where a table was also made with the best
00:01:28food with the best fruits. with the drinks that the
00:01:32person who passed away
00:01:36functions, that is what liked and that now was received yesterday, minutes ago, it has been
00:01:39Noboa is the owner of dismissed here in the cemetery, the little flame, this
00:01:42year there is a restriction due to
00:01:45the fact that in recent years some
00:01:47he says, he is the owner of incidents occurred, there were
00:01:49management of democratic people who entered with alcoholic
00:01:52beverages, so this
00:01:54in time the mayor's office of La Paz has been very strict in
00:01:58monitoring and not allowing people to enter... and people who were
00:02:02suspected of bringing alcoholic beverages, here
00:02:05outside the main gate of the Las Llamitas cemetery of
00:02:08La Paz, a priest has come a few minutes ago,
00:02:12a Catholic mass has also ended in memory of the
00:02:16souls of the deceased, this is how this
00:02:19very traditional festival is being lived throughout Bolivia, on this day
00:02:23it is a holiday precisely to highlight the
00:02:27deceptive management of importance, the intensity of... this
00:02:30festival that begins on November 1st, the souls of the deceased arrive

00:03:50Telesur.
00:03:53Today, only on Telesur,
00:04:40the Americas, fit into the structure more than 70% in that
00:04:48the lies of Mr.
00:05:00and electoral participation in Ecuador with
00:05:03another notable guest, Felipe
00:05:06Vega, political analyst from
00:05:10Cotacachi, Ecuador.
00:05:13a warm welcome to the program, thank you Jorge,
00:05:16very proud to be here talking
00:05:19with you. Felipe, your reaction to
00:05:23the arrest and preventive detention
00:05:27of Luisa González, two-time presidential
00:05:31candidate and representative of the
00:05:34main opposition party in Ecuador, Revolución
00:05:37Ciudadana. Superlativized indignation,
00:05:40Jorge, because Luisa González was the
00:05:44winner of the last electoral process who was
00:05:47defrauded, that is, they have arrested the elected
00:05:51president and fraudulently removed her from
00:05:54power, not only the
00:05:57former president of the Citizen Revolution movement, the former candidate,
00:06:01but the winner of the second
00:06:03round, uh, I say superlativized,
00:06:06superlativized indignation, because this is an indignation that
00:06:10has been festering. expressing itself for a long
00:06:14time, with the merciless
00:06:16persecution against the Citizen Revolution,
00:06:19especially against our highest and most important
00:06:23leaders, such as Rafael Correa, such as former
00:06:27Vice President Jorge Glas
00:06:31the worst conditions, in a concentration camp created,
00:06:35built by Mr. Novoa, uh, and without
00:06:38any legal reason to remain imprisoned,
00:06:41incommunicado. Uh, reviled, mistreated,
00:06:45abused, Jorge Glas is another of the great
00:06:48persecuted, apart from those who have been exiled from the
00:06:52country, that is why it is an indignation that is growing and the
00:06:55persecution in Ecuador is expressed, for
00:06:58example, in the prohibition of the
00:07:01Citizen Revolution movement, the largest and most organized movement in Ecuadorian
00:07:04history, from participating in
00:07:08elections due to an anonymous complaint
00:07:11presented to the prosecutor's office, violating all rules of
00:07:15law, all legal principles, and the
00:07:17persecution is expressed from grassroots militants, who
00:07:21have sanctions prohibiting them from holding public office,
00:07:25fines of $40,000 that are absolutely
00:07:28irregular, up to the persecution of the highest
00:07:31leadership, that is why I said superlativized, because this
00:07:34is an old construction that has been affecting not only the
00:07:38Citizen Revolution but also other political movements in
00:07:41Ecuador. Precisely as you say that this is a
00:07:45succession here I name some of the names
00:07:48that since this neoliberal, right-wing, pro-US
00:07:51Novoa came to
00:07:55power, he has fallen under this
00:07:59system of persecution as you denounce here, we are also talking
00:08:03about Aquiles Álvarez, we are talking
00:08:06about the mayor of Guayaquil
00:08:09also arbitrarily detained. Also
00:08:13behind bars in a judicial process that his
00:08:16wife, we had the opportunity to interview her, denounces
00:08:20all kinds of irregularities, also Mr. Serrano, former
00:08:24Minister of the Interior, now Luisa
00:08:27González, but the issue is
00:08:31this president Noboa, as you say very well,
00:08:34because Luisa González says that he came to
00:08:38the presidency, we were there
00:08:42the... second round she says here he achieved with a
00:08:45monumental fraud to be
00:08:49the winner of that election, how long will
00:08:52this stop because elections are approaching,
00:08:54let's say local
00:08:57elections also proscribe the
00:09:01party, the largest party, proscribe the candidates, what is this, a
00:09:04dictatorship, of course, look, the list is short, the
00:09:08mayor of Esmeraldas, Vico Villasis, is also imprisoned, he
00:09:11would have won the re-election, the mayor of
00:09:14Cuenca is exiled and with an arrest warrant, he also
00:09:18would have won the re-election, the mayor of Otavalo was
00:09:21prevented from registering, she was re-eligible
00:09:26the vote, the list is enormous, it falls short if
00:09:30we always leave out persecuted people, because there are also
00:09:33people who do not engage in political activity like the journalist Londra
00:09:37Santiago, like the journalist Gicela Bayona
00:09:40who are not from the Citizen Revolution. They are journalists who are
00:09:43exiled due to persecution, the journalist
00:09:46Anderson Boscán, the journalist who
00:09:50has the nickname the chochólogo who is exiled in
00:09:53Europe due to threats to his life, that is, the list
00:09:57is endless, but Jorge, the
00:10:00question is, is this gentleman the genius of evil
00:10:04to do what he is doing, and my answer is no, the
00:10:08former president Osvaldo Ustado, the former president of Christian Democracy
00:10:12in Ecuador defined the government officials
00:10:15as people with serious
00:10:18cognitive deficiencies, which is absolutely true, not only
00:10:22moral and ethical, but cognitive, who... are
00:10:25capable of fabricating this whole framework, there is a
00:10:29global script, Jorge, I would like to put this
00:10:33on this discussion table, which
00:10:36comes from American neoconservatism,
00:10:39when Samuel Huntington, based on
00:10:42the thoughts of Robert Dahl, both
00:10:46great creators of American
00:10:48neoconservatism, of which Donald Trump is one of its
00:10:51most brilliant figures.
00:10:55They argue that democracy no longer matters in the
00:10:58world, after the
00:11:02Soviet Union, democracy does not matter, the vote does not matter, what
00:11:05matters is to have control, and this is the
00:11:09the majorities of the institutions of
00:11:12democracy, that is, we are no longer going to a democracy where the
00:11:16popular vote is what decides, we are not going to a
00:11:18democracy where the differentiation of functions or
00:11:22powers of the state is the... issue of checks and balances in the
00:11:26democratic life of a nation, no, all
00:11:29of it is a return to absolutism,
00:11:32that against which
00:11:36John Locke
00:11:38was, all the
00:11:41English empiricists and the French rationalists who asked
00:11:45for a division of powers in the state, legislative,
00:11:48executive, judicial, well, with this neoconservative
00:11:51logic there is only one power in the state. The executive
00:11:55power that assumes through majorities all other
00:12:01happens in Ecuador, Mr.
00:12:04the electoral function, therefore the electoral function does what he
00:12:08says, punishes whoever
00:12:12the prosecutor's office, the national prosecutor acts
00:12:15as he is ordered to the point that
00:12:19the kidnapping, it is not imprisonment, in the
00:12:23kidnapping of Luisa González. The one who announces the fact
00:12:27is the general secretary of the public administration,
00:12:29it is not the national prosecutor, it is
00:12:33the secretary of the public administration, the secretary of the presidency of the
00:12:36republic, he is the spokesman for the prosecutor's office and
00:12:40when there are raids, the minister of government
00:12:43of pardon of the interior, the minister of police is the one who leads
00:12:47the raids and when there are
00:12:50decisions that go against university autonomy, it is the
00:12:53minister of education who dictates what should
00:12:56be done, the executive, seizing
00:12:59the functions of the state, subsuming them to its will,
00:13:03and the same happens with parliament, the National
00:13:06Assembly is a majority through purchase
00:13:10and betrayal that allows Mr. Noboa to do whatever he
00:13:14wants, therefore we have returned to the model of
00:13:17absolutism, which the liberal
00:13:20state denied, which is the
00:13:23state against which the liberal state fought in
00:13:27the in 1700, in the 18th century, we have
00:13:31taken a step back in the civilizing process of
00:13:34more than 300 years, Jorge, that is what we are experiencing in
00:13:37Ecuador, it is not Mr. Noboa's creation, it is a global
00:13:41script, continental that is applied and that Mr. Noboa
00:13:44is one of the most efficient appliers, because he is also a person
00:13:48born in that territory and who
00:13:51responds directly to the United States and the State
00:13:57happens in Ecuador, that is why
00:13:59the discussion here is, the discussion is, this is a
00:14:03low-intensity dictatorship, it is a civil
00:14:07dictatorship, it is a dictatorship, a
00:14:10cryptodictatorship as Osvaldo Hurtado described
00:14:13it, who, besides having been president, is a social
00:14:17scientist of the right, of the ultra-right, but he is a social
00:14:20scientist, no, and the answer is wait, a
00:14:24dictatorship of... that floats on the
00:14:27waves because it has constitutional aspects, it
00:14:30maintains the state structure, but it is an
00:14:34absolutist government, because it denies the separation of
00:14:37powers and thereby violates all political,
00:14:40civil,
00:14:43human, gender rights, everything, children's
00:14:47rights, violates all labor rights in
00:14:50Ecuador, and it
00:14:53disregards the constitution, the law and the courts.
00:14:57How does the Shield of the Americas,
00:15:00the Shield of
00:15:05you are describing? It is the great pretext for the
00:15:08fight against a supposed, against a supposed
00:15:11narcoterrorism. Drug trafficking exists, but
00:15:15this narcoterrorism generated by the
00:15:19vision of American neoconservative analysts is
00:15:22a great pretext for... to
00:15:25organize this system of domination
00:15:29and and and of taking political power in our nations through
00:15:33the control of democratic
00:15:36institutions. As Huntington proposed,
00:15:40uh, look, it's more or less what they did with Operation
00:15:44Condor when the military
00:15:47dictatorship was the solution,
00:15:51the first-instance solution they had to
00:15:54take political control of power in the
00:15:57nations, so Operation Condor organized
00:16:01all the coups, the persecutions, the dictatorial
00:16:04actions, and the continent was filled with
00:16:08military dictators, well, that model no longer
00:16:12model that works is to establish these puppet
00:16:16ultra-right governments, governments that enter with media
00:16:20management of networks with serimedos, with
00:16:23negres, no, and that enter and assume
00:16:27total power and absolute control of the
00:16:31state functions, through that
00:16:33they guarantee
00:16:36the omnipotent will of the owner or apparently
00:16:40owner of this territory who has had the
00:16:43audacity to change, even the
00:16:45logic
00:16:48of this doctrine that James Monroe proposed
00:16:52around 1823, now call it the
00:16:56Dombroe doctrine, a mix between Monroe and Donald
00:16:59Trump, this is the level they have
00:17:02reached to ratify their
00:17:05will to take over the entire
00:17:09continent and beyond the continent, from Greenland to Cape
00:17:12Horn and Antarctica. So, the Shield of the Americas
00:17:16is the great false pretext,
00:17:18behind which
00:17:21all this process of domination and
00:17:27institutions in our countries is hidden. I believe that Ecuador has
00:17:30been one of the places of
00:17:32experimentation, of everything that this process implies, which
00:17:36implies constant lying, remember
00:17:39that one of Mr. Trump's digital
00:17:43strategists, this, this
00:17:45gentleman, I don't remember his name, what's his
00:17:49name, Bannon, Steve Bannon,
00:17:51said,
00:17:53the zone uchit, we must invade, we must
00:17:57fill, flood the environment with with
00:18:00garbage, that is, the
00:18:05communication, the perverse management of communication
00:18:08then leads to the offer, the offer leads to the
00:18:12elimination of oppositions,
00:18:14the destruction of democratic
00:18:18methods and democratic processes, I believe,
00:18:21Jorge, that what we are experiencing is much more serious than it
00:18:25seems, it is not the tantrum of a rich
00:18:27child, it is not the
00:18:31conviction that Ecuador is a kind of banana plantation like the ones
00:18:34his family has, no, it is a global
00:18:37process where the great head is in the United
00:18:41States and that is appropriating
00:18:44absolutely as it has done since the end of World
00:18:47War II, since since the political
00:18:50bipolarity began on the
00:18:53planet, it appropriated this continent through military
00:18:56dictatorships and now it does so through this method of
00:19:00taking control of democratic
00:20:55then, Daniel Noboa, born
00:20:59in the United States, son of the richest man or
00:21:02one of the richest men in Ecuador,
00:21:06uh, a family that
00:21:09controls banana exports, he is the main exporter of
00:21:12bananas, President Noboa in
00:21:16some way suggests that he goes
00:21:18out to fight. In general, crime,
00:21:21drug
00:21:24trafficking, uh, irregular
00:21:26groups, and the complaints are constant,
00:21:30that from this Noboa group, which practically controls
00:21:33all facets of banana exports,
00:21:37bananas come out of those ports that the Noboa family also
00:21:40controls, but cocaine contaminated in the
00:21:44bananas also arrives in Europe, why?
00:21:48The question,
00:21:51the long preamble before the question
00:21:54is, why doesn't that investigation
00:21:58prosper, why isn't it
00:22:01possible that, for
00:22:05the Noboa family do not go through the same
00:22:09microscope where they imprison Glas, Luisa
00:22:13González, Aquiles
00:22:15Álvarez, the
00:22:19minister and all
00:22:22the others, what happens, how is it that that part of Ecuador's
00:22:26life is untouchable? There
00:22:28is a popular saying, that is, when
00:22:32a policeman captures a thief in
00:22:35flagrante, in the middle of the act of robbery, the thief,
00:22:38to avoid being taken away by
00:22:42the police, shouts, "There, run, that's
00:22:46the thief!" and all the people go after a poor guy who
00:22:49was crossing the street from the front and the thief is
00:22:53free. That is, this recourse of accusing
00:22:56others and presenting oneself as a champion
00:22:59in the fight against what I myself do
00:23:03is a very old recourse in humanity and
00:23:06it is the one that is applied here, crime and criminal
00:23:10violence in Ecuador, which in the time of
00:23:14Rafael Correa and I was
00:23:16deputy minister of defense at that time,
00:23:20and therefore part of the nation's security
00:23:23table, the rate of
00:23:27violent deaths per 100,000 inhabitants was
00:23:315.3 deaths
00:23:34per 100,000 inhabitants, that is to say, one of the second
00:23:38lowest in America, and that's
00:23:41how we handed over power to the
00:23:44unspeakable Mr. Moreno and then to
00:23:48Lasso and then to Noboa.
00:23:50With Guillermo Lasso, that index began to
00:23:53skyrocket, but in a
00:23:56geometric way, not in a geometric
00:24:00progression, for what reason? Because drug
00:24:03trafficking permeated the spheres of the police and the
00:24:07state, what do I mean? An investigation came out
00:24:10about the involvement of the national government during the time of Mr. Guillermo
00:24:14Lasso, with the Albanian
00:24:18mafia, a report that... was called Leon de
00:24:20Troya, a report that was disappeared by the
00:24:24general commander of the police in Ecuador and by prosecutor Diana
00:24:28Salazar and diluted in the
00:24:32direct links that the police found between
00:24:35the president's brother-in-law and the Albanian mafia and between
00:24:38several high-ranking officials of the regime and the Albanian mafia,
00:24:42this made violence, that is, drug
00:24:45trafficking was in the high spheres of the government, it was not outside and money
00:24:49laundering... of the banks connected to the
00:24:52government, uh, this made
00:24:56criminal violence and organized crime
00:25:00groups grow in Ecuador and their activity
00:25:04and impunity grow. Uh,
00:25:06this had been festering since the time of María Paula Romo,
00:25:10Minister of the Interior of Mr.
00:25:13Moreno, and it was a process that led to
00:25:16this surge in the rate of
00:25:20murders per 100,000 inhabitants, with Mr. Noboa's
00:25:23governments, that rate has reached
00:25:27exorbitant numbers, from 5.3% to
00:25:3056 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants that
00:25:34we are experiencing today, last year was a terrible
00:25:37year for murders in Ecuador,
00:25:40we had more than 10,000 murders in
00:25:43Ecuador, Manta in the middle of the year
00:25:46already had 500 murders in its city.
00:25:50No, all hitmen, all with firearms, all street violence,
00:25:54etcetera, the thing is that this continues
00:25:58to progress and again
00:26:01the uh... it starts to smell like the
00:26:03drug trafficking in Ecuador happens through shipments of
00:26:07bananas that leave the ports. What's more, Luisa
00:26:10González in the presidential 29th. Why do I say elections? Because the Mr. Noboa,
00:26:14telling him that the president of his
00:26:17movement was accused of having shipped one and a half tons
00:26:21of cocaine, accused by the prosecutor's office, an accusation
00:26:25that they later erased, and that Mr. Noboa
00:26:29through his company Noboa trading
00:26:33was making banana shipments, and Mr. Noboa acknowledged that the
00:26:37Noboa trading company was not his but his family's. None of
00:26:40that has been investigated, none of that has been
00:26:43touched, but they are turning the tables, shouting, "Catch the
00:26:47drug trafficker who is over there," and the drug trafficker turns out
00:26:50to be anyone from the Citizen Revolution.
00:26:54When Luisa González's house is raided, it is
00:26:57clear the
00:27:01Veluisa lives, a single-story house
00:27:05made of concrete blocks with a roof of
00:27:08zinc, an absolutely
00:27:12modest house. She is accused of drug trafficking
00:27:15and money laundering, Jorge. That is to say, it is
00:27:19already evident the miserable lie that
00:27:22they have plotted and constructed here in Ecuador, and which resonates in
00:27:26newspapers, in newspapers
00:27:29like one that published a headline asking
00:27:33what connection there is between the deaths in the
00:27:36street and Aquiles Álvarez. Such
00:27:40a six-column headline, which is already the
00:27:43sum of infamy. What connection can there be
00:27:45between the violence of organized crime groups and
00:27:49drug trafficking in Ecuador with a mayor of Guayaquil who is
00:27:53imprisoned in a gulag,
00:27:56incommunicado, sick.
00:27:59And the question then
00:28:02is, how much of all this does the
00:28:05common citizen know, because ultimately we also know
00:28:09that the media in Ecuador are not, the
00:28:12mass media are not in the service of public
00:28:15interest, but of large economic and
00:28:19financial interests, etc., etc.
00:28:22How much does he know and what possibilities
00:28:26of reacting, as you say, this has to
00:28:29end someday? I believe that the common citizen
00:28:33is already transcended by the reality of what
00:28:38he lives it, he lives it every day, he lives it in his neighborhood,
00:28:42he lives it in the cost of living, in the lack of work, in the lack of
00:28:45health care, in the
00:28:48lack of educational coverage,
00:28:51etc. He lives it every day. Now
00:28:54we are going to confirm it, although
00:28:57I doubt it, in the
00:29:00elections of November
00:29:04former president of the National Electoral Council,
00:29:07who is now appointed as ambassador to the
00:29:11Plurinational Republic of Bolivia, no, to the Plurinational
00:29:14State of Bolivia, therefore demonstrating her connection with the
00:29:17executive, she said that on the day, because they advanced
00:29:21the elections, that on the 29th there will only be votes,
00:29:24Jorge, votes and that the election will still be on
00:29:28February 14th. So we have to understand this
00:29:32with a pinch of salt. We are going to vote on
00:29:36November 29th, but they are going to elect authorities on
00:29:40February 14th. Who is going to elect? Who is going to
00:29:43elect? This is the question that slipped out of this lady
00:29:47who also demonstrates her cognitive
00:29:50limitations. But we
00:29:52cannot confirm the position of the common citizen
00:29:56that we should confirm in the elections of November
00:30:0029th, but we already confirmed it in the last
00:30:04electoral process when Mr. Noboa asked four
00:30:08questions that we all said he was going to
00:30:11win, we all said he was going to win.
00:30:15However, he lost in all four with
00:30:18None of the political forces, no political
00:30:21force promoted that campaign for the no.
00:30:24It was a spontaneous campaign by the people,
00:30:28the people on their social networks,
00:30:32in their closest circles, launched a campaign
00:30:35against Noboa and he lost with
00:30:39popular consultation in the four questions. Therefore, there is already
00:30:42a real demonstration that the common
00:30:45people, the common people, are tired of
00:30:51Noboa, they are tired of authoritarianism, they are
00:30:54tired of outrages and they are tired of the
00:30:58poverty into which he has precipitated us.
