Correa: Ecuador Not Copycat of Honduras

QUITO - President Rafael Correa denounced a Honduras-like conspiracy with US support to try and destabilize Ecuador by misleading the Police and Armed Forces into a coup.

In radio and TV addresses, President Correa recalled that since they failed to win the elections, ex President and retired Col. Lucio Gutierrez, and his brother, ex Capt. Gilmar shifted to "misleading the military and police in anti-government plots."

President Correa exposed an e-mail claiming the closure of the Military Polytechnic School (ESPE) and the Armed Force Social Welfare Institute (ISSFA) to conceal new Constitutional regulations on military retirement pension rise.

He noted that the state covers for life insurance and other risks linked to their profession through both the Social and Military Welfare Systems (ISSFA), stressing that the latter will not disappear.
