Welcome and thanks, nice post. You are way ahead of me with your knowledge on the political situation in Ecuador. I have let this part of the picture go too long without really looking at it other than cursorily. Wishful, head in the sand thinking on my part so your post is a nice wake up call. Fall eh? More drill rigs!!!!

"During the ceremony of Tantarimuy, held in Cotopaxi province, Correa said his government would be ''a government of the indigenous.''

His leftist views align him with Bolivia's Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, who attended the ceremony wearing Andean ponchos given to them by Native authorities.

''Latin America will keep changing, because what we are living is not an era of change, it is the change of an era,'' Correa said.

He has promised to build an Ecuador with ''Ecuadorians in charge,'' opposing the free market economic policies of the United States and the International Monetary Fund, and taking back the country's oil wealth from multinational corporations.
"

With Morales and Chavez at his side it's hard not to think that socialism is not Correa's top priority. No foreign company is safe with the threat of nationalization in the wind. ARU.v's future is far from certain with this danger looming.
