Ecuador Wrap-Up

A few more items re: Ecuador. I think this’ll be my last Ecuador-related post for a while.

First, an on-the-ground report from my Ecuadorian friend Dennis P. I emailed him to ask what he thought about all the turmoil. To paraphrase Dennis’s response in Spanish, he said this:

“It’s all a mess. I don’t know. I don’t really have an opinion. I may be leaving the country this summer.”

That’s a great encapsulation of the dismay inherent in the situation for Ecuadorians. It sucks. Maybe I can leave Ecuador soon.

Other stuff:

MSNBC: “Ecuadorean immigrants worry from afar.”

AP: “Political power on the airwaves: Ecuador radio station has role in ouster of president.”

Randy Paul: “Lucio Gutierrez’s departure from Ecuador to asylum in Brazil is not yet a done deal as the government of Ecuador (which despite my distaste for Gutierrez, certainly has its own legitimacy problems) is not going to grant him safe passage just yet.”

PubliusPundit: “WAS GUTIERREZ�S REMOVAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL?”
