Condemn the attempted coup in Ecuador!
The International Action Center protests the criminal attack by the Ecuadoran police against the popularly elected president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa. We see in this illegal coup attempt the hand of the U.S. State Department and CIA in attempting to reverse the popular and progressive steps of this government. It is an assault on the sovereignty of Ecuador as well as on the democratic rights of all Ecuadorans, who have voted to elect their president and who have signaled in the most recent polls that 70 percent of them support him.We call on all the progressive forces in the United States to oppose in the strongest way this coup attempt that follows the efforts by right wing oligarchies in Latin America aligned with United States’ interests to overturn the gains achieved by left-leaning governments in Latin America, particularly by the countries member of ALBA. This right-wing campaign tried, unsuccessfully, to overturn the government of Evo Morales in 2008; committed the military coup in Honduras on June 2009 against democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya and has tried, again unsuccessfully, to destabilize the Bolivarian government of Venezuelan Hugo Chavez, including a failed coup in 2003.
