US backs Ecuador dictator: Right-wing banker dissolves parliament to stop impeachment for corruption

Geopolitical Economy Report - En podcast af Ben Norton

Ecuador's right-wing President Guillermo Lasso, a multimillionaire banker notorious for blatant corruption, dissolved the National Assembly to prevent it from impeaching him for embezzling public funds. The US government is strongly supporting the dictator as he rams through extreme anti-worker laws. He also has the backing of Peru's coup regime, which imprisoned leftist Pedro Castillo on false accusations of doing exactly what Lasso did.
