Ecuador's Correa Says Right-Wingers 'Don't Respect Democracy'
Published 17 September 2016

Ecuador's President Rafael Correa said on Saturday that Latin America is dealing with a new imperialist plan set to destroy progressive governments, comments that came as he attended the 17th Non-Aligned Movement Summit on Venezuela’s Margarita Island.

"We are dealing with a new Plan Condor," Correa said in an interview with teleSUR, referring to the U.S.-backed effort in the 1970s to topple democratic governments in the region.

Correa said imperialists and their right-wing allies in the region "are on a quest to destroy progressive governments."

The president of the Andean nation went on to express support for the government of Venezuela and its president, Nicolas Maduro, saying he's been subjected to a double standard: right-wing governments criticize Venezuela's economic and political crisis but had nothing to say about the parliamentary coup against Brazil's last elected president, Dilma Rousseff.
