Ecuador
Suspicious over FTA
The Free Trade Agreement (FTA)
that Ecuador is negotiating with
the US is a source of concern
for many people, who are
demanding clarity on this deal.
Latest polls show the Ecuadorian
distrust over the talks, which
started March 23, between Quito
authorities and US negotiators.
A poll conducted by Cedatos
Gallup Internacional Company in
Sierra, Amazonia and Costa
cities showed that 65 percent of
the people reject or do not know
about the FTA.
Likewise, another survey by
Datanalisis firm revealed that
62.40 percent of those polled
opposed the agreement for being
destructive for the nation.
Both samples were taken amid
indigenous protests against FTA,
which will affect four million
Ecuadorians if sealed, analysts
think.
