Episode: Ecuador-The Lasso Government Post-National Strike

Which is a follow-up to our June 22 episode “Ecuador Erupts against Neoliberalism with guest Camila Escalante of Kawsachun News.

Guest: author and journalist Joe Emersberger. You can find his work published at FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) and be sure to read his book Extraordinary Threat: The US Empire, the Media and Twenty Years of Coup Attempts in Venezuela

BACKGROUND:

Ecuador President Guillermo Lasso survived an impeachment vote on Tuesday, June 28 after a left opposition party failed to rally other smaller groups in congress to oust him as his government moved to make concessions to defuse the political crisis.

With only 80 of 137 lawmakers voting to remove Lasso, the impeachment attempt failed to clear the 92-vote hurdle needed to remove the president from office. Another 48 lawmakers rejected the motion, with nine abstaining after a session that lasted about 12 hours and included three voting attempts.

A week later on Tuesday, July 5, Lasso appointed Pablo Arosemena, governor of Ecuador's Guayas province, as the Andean country's new minister of economy and finances, following the resignation of Simon Cueva, while also naming new ministers for transport, and urban development and housing.

The appointments came hours after Lasso accepted Cueva's resignation, as well as those of former Health Minister Ximena Garzon and former Transport Minister Marcelo Cabrera.

The changes follow a deal signed between the government and indigenous leaders to end demonstrations across the country last week. read more
