Diplomatic relations
between Ecuador and
Colombia are frozen in
the middle of a dubious
media campaign to
discredit the former.
Ecuadorian Government
Minister Fernando
Bustamante debunked
Monday the Colombian
newspaper "El Tiempo"
publication of a photo
in which Security
Minister Gustavo Larrea
allegedly appears with
the deceased guerrilla
leader Raul Reyes.
Bustamante said it was
false, that it was not
Larrea who appeared in
the photo with Reyes,
that it was rigged by
political groups and
international media to
discredit some
government officials,
according to the website
of the Republic"s
President.
Bustamante also called
attention to the fact
that the action took
place when foreign
ministers from the
Organization of American
States were analyzing in
Washington the violation
of this country"s
sovereignty by Colombia.
The person in the photo
with Reyes is Patricio
Echegaray, leader of the
Argentinean Communist
Party, but "El Tiempo"
daily stated it was
Larrea.
For the security
minister, as long as the
neighboring country
continues to smear his
nation with false
arguments and unfriendly
statements, Quito will
not reestablish
diplomatic links with
Bogota. |
