>>"it's indigenous activists that control the country".

I don't view this discussion as being political, but rather very much related to mining speculation and its disappointments.

I think the above quote from RE's most recent post correctly defines the current situation in the Ecuadoran assembly. Correa is a politician. and politics is the art of the possible. I don't believe he sides with activists except to the extent that he has been forced to do so in this instance. Indeed it may well be that mining's enemies in Ecuador are Correa's enemies.... the same political activists.

So I don't think it is the fete accompli that the thread talk apparently believes it is. The end of the story has not been written..

Tom....that was a joke. Correa is still the President although it seems like Acosta is running the show. In this case politics has everything to do with mining as this mandate was signed just yesterday in the General Assembly.

I'm not taking sides, I'm just saying that I can't see owning anything there until stability is the rule of the day IF it ever will be
