WPC statement on the attempted Coup in Ecuador


Statement of the WPC regarding the attempted Coup in Ecuador

The World Peace Council denounces the attempted Coup d’ Etat against the President of the country Rafael Correa in an effort to destabilizethe country and allow domestic and foreign reactionary forces to intervene. The attempted coup comes as continuation of the Coup d’ Etat in Honduras, this time in a country where the anti-imperialist peoples’ movement achieved the shut down and withdrawal of the US Military Basis of Manta (Ecuador) few years ago.
The WPC expresses its solidarity to the peace loving people and the anti-imperialist movement in Ecuador, condemning any effort to disrupt the will and feelings of its people and calls for vigilance for any future subversive and imperialist interference.
We note with deep concern the manoeuvres of US Imperialism to deploy more Military Bases in the region and as well as the reactivation of the 4th US Naval fleet in the area, both instruments of imperialist domination in South America.
We defend the right of the people of Ecuador to determine its future freely and democratically, against the local oligarchy and its foreign imperialist allies.
The Secretariat of WPC 1st October 2010
