Ecuador: Destabilization Conspiracy Grabs National Attention

Quito, Jan 10 (Prensa Latina) Destabilizing plans against the
Ecuadorian government and the constituent Assembly to hinder the
process of change have attracted national attention.

Several government officials warned about opposition tactics to finish
off the process of changes the country is undergoing.

Acosta said on Wednesday powerful rightwing groups are desperate and
seek to stop the people's Revolution by all means within their reach.

Besides Acosta, the government coordinator with the constituent
Assembly Augusto Barrera confirmed a conspiracy to undermine progress
in this country.

The conservative groups were caught trying to buy off 15 Assembly
members of Alianza Pais to topple that organization from its majority
status and hinder changes in this Andean nation, he said.

He explained that they wanted to suppress the Constituent Assembly,
reestablish the Congress, and cause President Rafael Correa's dismissal.
