Ecuador: Opposition Seeks to Preserve Privileges

2015-06-19 0 Dailymotion

Ecuador's right-wing opposition has vowed to continue its protests against two proposed taxes that would redistribute income even though President Rafael Correa has temporarily suspended the measures. Correa said the persistence of inequality in Ecuadoran society was intolerable and needs to be urgently addressed and called for a national debate on the proposed inheritance and capital gains taxes. The continued aggressiveness of the right-wing protests has led many to conclude that the opposition wants to preserve its privileges at all costs and is seeking to destabilize the country and oust its democratically elected president. teleSUR
