Ecuador-Colombia Gap Widens
Quito - Colombia's efforts to relate
Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa with the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) worsen
the crisis between both nations, which have not
maintained diplomatic relations since 2008.
Existence of a video in Bogota that shows a FARC
leader, saying he funded Correa's electoral campaign
in 2006 was called by the president in this capital
a set-up.
They are trying to relate Ecuador with the Colombian
guerrillas and that is the fruit of those
conservative groups' continental charge, the head of
State said this weekend.
"They want to take me to the International Court as
a terrorist, and I wish they do it to show who the
true terrorists, drug-dealer politicians and
parapoliticians are," he said.
To the president, "he who owes nothing, fears
nothing," and he has a clean conscience, thus he
proposed that he and his Colombian peer Alvaro Uribe
appeared at the International Court to go through a
lie detector, and be asked if they have anything to
do with the FARC, the paramilitary troops or drug
trafficking, to see who tells the truth and who lies
to the world.
