If any doubts remained that the president of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno, acts under the orders of the United States, as an obedient pawn of Washington, they were completely dissipated by absurd, but very dangerous, decisions taken by that government in the last hours.
When Mexico, demonstrating its honorable traditions of humanitarian and international politics, went to the rescue of Evo Morales in Bolivia, the Ecuadorian executive was one of those who opposed the plane carrying the indigenous leader to cross the country's airspace , thus putting more difficulties to that operation.
Could it be that Moreno is so afraid of Evo, that he does not want him even in the Ecuadorian sky, or will he simply abide by a call made from the north?
In my opinion it was both that led him to shame his nation before the international community.
But not many hours had passed when he did it again, declaring unilaterally broken the health agreement with Cuba, which has given so many benefits to the most needy citizens of his country.
Mr. Moreno cannot claim ignorance. When he was a decent person and acted as vice president of Rafael Correa, he coordinated and witnessed firsthand the humanism, self-denial and high professional quality of the Cuban specialists who toured the country to detect people with physical or intellectual disabilities during the Manuela Espejo mission.
He also knows that in the ophthalmological clinics created in Ecuador about 184 thousand people with limited resources received the miracle of recovering or improving their vision, without costing them a single penny.
By following this other order of the White House, Lenin Moreno is not hurting Cuba, as he and his employers believe. It is damaging, and much, its own town, which denies the possibility of receiving quality medical care in the most remote places of the territory, where Ecuadorian professionals have never gone, nor will they go.
I do not know how much or what they have offered to break this agreement, or if he did it only to please those who dictate the agenda, but I have no doubt that he made a very serious mistake.
Even before these outrages he had shown that he is not a man of his word. When he had to fight in retreat for the massive protests against a neoliberal adjustment program, he saved the furniture by repealing the decree that protected him and promised a process of negotiations to resolve the crisis.
What he has done is quite the opposite, because he put the leaders of the Citizen Revolution movement in jail and now threatens indigenous leaders for having participated in the protests. At the same time he sent to Congress another package with all the impositions of the IMF.
According to Dante Alighieri, liars go to hell, but traitors have a special place, right next to Lucifer. If someone has a copy of the beautiful translation that Bartolomé Miter made of The Divine Comedy, lend it to Lenin Moreno, to see if he learns anything.
