The Julian Assange Show: Rafael Correa (E6)

This week, Julian Assange talks to the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa. Correa is a left wing populist who has changed the face of Ecuador. But unlike his predecessors he holds a Ph.D. in economics. According to US embassy cables, Correa is the most popular President in Ecuador's democratic history. But in 2010 he was taken hostage in an attempted coup d'etat. He blames the coup attempt on corrupt media and has launched a controversial counter-offensive. Correa says the media defines what reforms are possible. Assange tries to figure out is Ecuadorian president justified and what is his vision for Latin America.

Elections are set for Feb 17, 2013 and President Correa will surely win in the first round because he has the overwhelming support of the majority of the Ecuadorian people. He is truely head and shoulders above any of the other opposition candidates in intelligence, education and his proven willingness to improve the lives of the people. Your perceptions of him are correct. He is genuine and honest and puts the welfare of Ecuador and our people above all. That is why he has so many followers.

Rafael Correa is not a "crazy leader" as US and western media would have you believe. He is the best president Ecuador has ever had! He has accomplished so much in the areas of infrastructure, education, public health and government services. What is even more amazing is that he has done all this while having to deal with corrupt media in Ecuador that lie and distort the news for the advantage of the oligarchy that wants to keep the status quo. Additionally he won"t take orders from Washington.
