Quite political isn't she, and at times in ways that discredit those wonderful principles of free enterprise she espouses ... what got me was her take on the situation with oil companies, this was elsewhere not on her ecuadorminingnews.com site, she managed to gloss right over some of the horrendous stuff they'd been doing, one big shrug and then prattled on ... pointed out, and quite rightly, that the state oil organisations like Petroecuador had also some abuses on their records, which is no doubt true, but she seemed to present that as a reason to give Chevron et al anything they wanted ... can't recall what exactly she said in re Ascendant and their performance with the locals, kind of praised them with faint damning if memory serves, completely inadequate as that sort of thing is deadly to the mining industry, any managements acting that way must be run out of the business toot sweet, for the sake of shareholders and everybody else

Lots of other info sources, plenty of newspapers down there, as you'd expect in a country of fifteen millions - prensaescrita.com

How do the entrenched Ecuadorian ruling class get to be so right wing.. and why would they favour high oil taxes? If the government is left wing.
