[ColonelCassad] An interesting overview of the background to the current criminal uprising in Ecuador, which they still cannot suppress.
Continued from Page 2
The story begins a little far away - the president's grandfather Luis Adolfo Noboa Naranjo (yes, his name was "orange") is considered the most important businessman of Ecuador in the 20th century and the richest Ecuadorian of his time. The real “capitalist hero” is an orphan, he worked as a cleaner from the age of 12 to help his mother, at the age of 19 he took out a loan, bought rice with it, sold it in Venezuela, and so became a rich man (sounds cool, doesn’t it? An extremely plausible story).
And then somehow he ended up in a company from the #USA Standard Fruit Company - the “little sister” of the widely celebrated United Fruit Company in the history, which played approximately the same role, only on a smaller scale, in the history of the Latin American “banana republics” - and became the largest in Ecuador as an exporter of cereals and bananas. Later, the creator of Grupo Noboa moved to the USA, where he died in New York in 1994.
Louis Noboa didn't get involved in politics much. But not so was his son, Alvaro Noboa, who became the owner of Grupo Noboa and increased his father's legacy a hundredfold (by squeezing shares from his brothers along the way). The Noboa family's income base was bananas. However, Alvaro (apparently thanks to a better education than his father) had much broader interests - banking, construction, media. But the main thing remained bananas (well, you remember that the main export product of Latin America is sent around the world packed with bananas).
🇪🇨 It’s more interesting how the oligarch-honest businessman Alvaro Noboa was eager to become president of #Ecuador (in fact, an impressive zeal). Alvaro Noboa tried to become president five times: in 1998, 2002, 2006, 2009 and 2013.
These are all very interesting stages in the development of Ecuadorian politics: Hamil Maouad, elected in 1998, triggered a banking crisis that killed the Ecuadorian currency, the sucre; in 2000 he announced the dollarization of Ecuador, after which he resigned; It was only in 2014 that karma “caught up” with him, and the court sentenced him in absentia to 12 years in prison for money laundering during the crisis. Vice President Gustavo Noboa (no relation) remained to serve out his presidential term until 2002.
Who comes to us against the backdrop of all sorts of crises, dollarization and other outrages? That's right, the military is from the patriotic camp (by the way, this is what awaits Argentina, you'll see). Therefore, in 2002, Alvaro Noboa, by that time the richest man in Ecuador, lost decently (55% to 45%) to Colonel Lucio Gutierrez, who in 2000 staged a peaceful putsch, refusing to kill the protesting Indians, but it did not work out.
The outcome for Gutierrez was a little predictable: the colonel quickly broke with the leftists who supported him, aligned himself with the Social Christian Party, reached an agreement with the United States, and faced an attempt at impeachment. As a result, he was forced to hide in the house of the Brazilian Ambassador, ran around (Brazil-Peru-Colombia) in search of political asylum, so he returned to Ecuador and... there was nothing for him. He even tried to run for president again until 2021.
It would seem that the Latin American god himself gave Alvaro Noboa a chance to win the elections in 2006. But no! He lost again, 57-43, to the great and terrible Rafael Correa, the socialist whose name is still used by the Latin American right to scare cribs. (By the way, Colonel Gilmar Gutierrez’s brother participated in the elections from the same patriotic party). Noboa blew Correa out in both 2009 and 2013, when it became clear that still the richest man in Ecuador was leaving the political distance and could no longer show the same results. By the same time, reports emerged that the CIA was actively working to bring down Correa. Offshore banker ( https://t.me/latamguerras/785 ) Guillermo Lasso has come to the fore in the fight against “communism” in Latin America.
Rafael Correa lasted three terms in office, reducing poverty, inequality and crime in Ecuador, butting heads with the IMF, and supporting Julian Assange. And then he was replaced in 2017 by former vice president and comrade Lenin Moreno, a wheelchair user and Nobel Peace Prize nominee. Having defeated Lasso in the elections, he SUDDENLY changed from a socialist to a liberal-conservative.
Lenin brought all kinds of crises on the heads of Ecuadorians: he borrowed $10 billion (9% of the country’s GDP) from the IMF and the World Bank in 2019; eliminated fuel subsidies in 2019; sent weapons to Bolivia to fight supporters of comrade Evo Morales in 2019; failed the fight against Covid in 2020; faced a massive prison uprising ( https://t.me/favelasemrus/2504 ) in 2021; and achieved a 4-fold increase in the murder rate in Ecuador from 2017 to 2022 (normal, right? That’s how Lenin is).
In 2021, the wheelchair user was finally taken out of the Carondelet Palace, and they tried to replace him with Correa’s student Andres Arauz - but they couldn’t (partly because of Arauz’s self-confidence, partly because of the standard “stab in the back” from the Indian party “Pachakutik” with their candidate Yaku Perez; the Green Indians from Pachakutik have been suspected of collusion with the CIA since Correa’s second term, but that’s a different story). By the way, they wanted to imprison Lenin, but in the end he left for the USA, and then received the post of Commissioner of the Organization of American States in Paraguay, which tells us a lot about the OAS.
Guillermo Lasso became president (for the third time), who demonstrated quite expected results for a banker known for his offshore dealings. Of course, he didn’t give a damn about the Indians, whose votes helped him become president (first he punched them in the face at protests, and then announced that he would suck their oil in the jungle), about his allies from the Social Christian Party, he took another one and a half billion from the IMF, faced new massacres in prisons, and ended up in the “Pandora File” ( https://t.me/latamguerras/785 ), a list of politicians-offenders (read: corrupt officials) from the ICIJ, and by 2023 came to the prospect of impeachment. (There, connections were also revealed between Lasso and the Albanian mafia, to whom cocaine was supplied to the port of Durres, transferred with the same bananas from the Noboa family). By 2023, the murder rate in Ecuador has increased by 8!! times compared to the end of the third term of Rafael Correa, so even presidential candidates began to shoot, like in some Colombia.
