Рафаэль Корреа раскритиковал Яманду Орси за его позицию в отношении выборов в Эквадоре: «Он немного разочаровал»

Рафаэль Корреа, бывший президент Эквадора (2007–2017), который в настоящее время находится в Уругвае, где дает интервью для своего стримингового шоу «В разговоре с Корреа», в эту пятницу рассказал о «разочаровании», которое вызвал у него тот факт, что правительство Уругвая во главе с Яманду Орси первым признало Даниэля Нобоа победителем последних выборов в Эквадоре, выборы, которые Корреа назвал фальсификацией. «Одной из вещей, которая нас потрясла, при всем уважении и любви, было то, что правительство президента Орси первым признало результат, когда оппозиция заявляла: «была фальсификация», — сожалел Корреа в беседе с программой «Неформальные завтраки» (Канал 12). По мнению бывшего президента, от левого правительства следовало ожидать, «по крайней мере, требования «открыть урны»». «Это немного разочаровало», — подчеркнул он, хотя и отметил, что не выражал своего недовольства президенту Орси. Стоит напомнить, что после выборов, состоявшихся 13 апреля 2025 года, Нобоа получил поздравления от лидеров Республиканской коалиции, которые, в свою очередь, раскритиковали отсутствие официального заявления со стороны правительства Яманду Орси. Только во второй половине дня в понедельник, 14 апреля, появилось официальное сообщение президента Республики. «Я приветствую эквадорский народ в связи с только что завершившимся избирательным процессом. И поздравляю избранного президента Даниэля Нобоа с той ответственностью, которую на него возложил народ». “There is much for us to work on together in South America,” the Uruguayan president noted on his X account. That day, Foreign Minister Mario Lubetkin stated at a press conference that the government would take “a few hours” to determine its position. "Generally, results are confirmed immediately when both the winner and the loser acknowledge the outcome in unison. “When it’s a situation like this where one side says one thing and the other says another, all we’re doing right now is giving ourselves a few more hours,” the minister remarked. Finally, Orsi congratulated Noboa on social media. Among other topics discussed in the interview—primarily the eight-year prison sentence he received in his country for alleged corruption cases—Correa was asked about his stance on drug trafficking in the region. "We need to change the drug strategy; the responsibilities are shared. We need a tough stance against organized crime, but also human development, production alternatives, control of consumption, control of money laundering, and control of weapons," said the former Ecuadorian president. For Correa, “The United States does not fight drug trafficking; it manages it.” Meanwhile, he also referred to the new rise of right-wing governments on the continent and lamented “a clear step backward.” “It is a right wing that respects absolutely nothing—caveman-like, inconsistent,” he declared. According to El País, one of the meetings Correa held since his arrival in Uruguay was a dinner that took place on Tuesday evening at Manzanar, a restaurant in Carrasco. There, he met with Fernando Pereira, president of the ruling political party. Also in attendance were Rafael Michelini, leader of the Nuevo Espacio faction, and Daniel Mariño, political secretary of the Frente Amplio. When asked by El País, Michelini mentioned that “Correa came to Uruguay to work, to do some reports for his TV channel,” but he also took the opportunity to hold some political meetings. According to him, the conversation covered “every conceivable topic,” ranging from “the situation of persecution in Ecuador” to “the state of the world and concerns about peace.” On the other hand, “he asked Fernando (Pereira) for details on what the Frente Amplio is like, because it is a political organization that is highly admired abroad.” Previously, Correa had met with two of the main leaders of the Communist Party of Uruguay: the Minister of Labor and Social Security, Juan Castillo, and Senator Óscar Andrade. “You always have a good time in Uruguay,” he told Subrayado (Channel 10) after that meeting. The former president of Ecuador also met with former Vice President Lucía Topolansky, a leading figure in the Popular Participation Movement (MPP), and will interview Vice President Carolina Cosse and Michelini for his podcast. He also said that he would have liked to meet with the president, Yamandú Orsi, but understands that scheduling conflicts would make it difficult to arrange the meeting. He added that he came to Uruguay “for work, to conduct interviews,” and that this is part of how he “partially earns a living.” He stated that “the Frente has done a lot of good for Uruguay.” “Uruguay is the most developed—or least underdeveloped—country in Latin America and the region,” he noted. “The fact that the left has won four out of the last five elections is very encouraging,” he emphasized.
