12:33 am
a matter of weeks now since police in ecuador protested against salary cuts and spawn some of them to call a coup attempt the country's president was said to have been trapped in a hospital for twelve hours before being freed thanks to a military operation bad and drama left five people dead but details are still unclear to find out more spoke to president rafael correa himself. this. thank you for receiving us here. this time in your home. as you know there are different theories of what happened on september the thirtieth both on the national and international level what are you must do use when saying that it was an attempt off or could it top. there's no doubt it was an attempted coup i was support my position with arguments
12:34 am
a bit later in our country the opposition can say whatever they like is believed here that being in opposition means denying obvious things there even really to argue that a circle has right angles and if i had died that day they would have said that i committed suicide anyway day by day we get more and more evidence that this was an attempt to destabilize the situation the thing is that classic couetise at least in latin america with troops overturn of a president and appointment of a new military dictator as president are impossible the twenty first century their new ways to destruct the work of a government presumably a certain part of society in this case armed people national police expressed their discontent with the new law they haven't even read to the end the law is a good one all this has happened because of misleading information this discontent serve as a basis for intrusion of political groups of corrupted groups from the police itself of people violating human rights and resorting to torture thus these groups are taking advantage of a general discontent not to have their salaries raised but to insult the president
12:35 am
to hold him hostage to threaten him and to finally make an assassination attempt that's clear from video recordings they were not acting on their own their actions were coordinated by political groups that's what i would like to stress those groups stayed in the shadow waiting for the outcome of this attempted coup d'etat but the intent failed there were a number of coordinated operations and evidence shows that these actions have been prepared over three weeks in order to create turmoil which was supposed to last no more than one two or three days it was joined by the armed forces looting broke out as well as skirmishes and bloodshed as a result the government would simply. i have to stand down but they could not foresee that i would get back to quito headquarters and when they treat me in such an insulting manner when they keep me hostage all this unites the country and the police itself to see that what's going on is far from demands to raise salaries that's when the coup d'etat failed i insist it's obvious that it was an attempted coup but it had a new format rather than a classic one it was manifested by obvious discontent of the people leading to
12:36 am
chaos and destabilising the work of the government. in. your ardent address that morning you challenge those who want to kill the president asking if they have brain enough to do so what is the threat like it's a moment. to moment. when i asked a question to the police the president is sticking his neck out what are they talking about according to the current theory it was discontent express due to misunderstanding of a good new law concerning the military and the police i was going to explain the essence of law my way but once we arrived we were met with tear gas and with slogans get out proven israeli communists they blocked the presidential building and pin the tires therefore it was evident from the very beginning that it was a political trap and there was no wish to carry out a dialogue we heard no to bands to raise salaries it was a political scenario long lives lucio gutierrez this is the country's former president who is behind all this that's why i opened the window and tried to
12:37 am
explain the situation but they continued interrupting and insulting me as we knew about the looting and we realized it was a political trap so i said if you want to kill me which kill me but don't destroy our homeland they didn't have the guts to do so later on when the coup failed they did try to kill the president which can be seen from the recordings and was confirmed by numerous pieces of evidence the room i stayed in was attacked by gunfire as well as the presidential car anyone can take a look at those shots there was an order to kill the president but at that moment because cowards do not have the guts to kill me. i want to make some doctors in the hospital way were treated contradict the information about who had been kidnapped can you comment on that please. you can hear any kind of nonsense in a democratic society but lately it was proved that the doctors claiming that we were not even in the hospital at the time in other words i was not there i left eleven am prayed somewhere tonight and then i was found this is ridiculous that's how they show their zeal to harm and to disprove obvious fact that if you were not
12:38 am
kidnapped or kept prisoner call it whatever you like why would they need the army to save the president and why then the military were fired at and the president is not kept prisoner this is disproval of obvious facts and this is unlimited human wickedness he said that due to a number of weird canes that insists there is an investigation of the opposition members actions before the thirtieth of september what kinds of incentives did him in and what are the preliminary results. for example in the morning of the twenty third of september the recordings proving it fidel a rail a deputy of good tears who's behind all this was not alone the main initiator is a social democratic party its members are detained for the time of the investigation was manuka strike in quito also a few days before the clashes on the thirtieth of september seven opposition members of the national assembly made a trip to the united states where in washington they met with the ultra right who as we know financed the opposition groups activity we do not have proof that they
12:39 am
financed the events of september thirtieth we do not have proof that they financed the events of september thirtieth but we can prove that they finance oppositions activity interests of different people meet here the tough core of the corrupted police there are forty two thousand people working for the police and this group councilors than two hundred and ecuadorian political groups who knew that they will not win at the election and who want to defeat us using arms and also there are foreign groups who are constantly making efforts to destabilize work of progressive governments. what problems and internal weaknesses in your opinion have been shown since events that we're talking about. ever meet. it's absolutely clear that even before these events there were mistakes of the intelligence agency and the government and it's understandable because when we came into government our intelligence as well as police in the military were financed by the us embassy let us be frank is an obvious fact the u.s.
12:40 am
embassy started controlling then they appointed heads of police and military departments who underwent a lie detector procedure i said that we should remove the person who is reporting to the embassy and the cia instead of the government of his own country colonel press medio who met with years in miami was involved in a conspiracy activity and was called the government's enemy that since the first of march of two thousand and eight when colombia started bombing ecuador all those disadvantages of the intelligence service were revealed and many intelligence departments knew that and they were in contact with the colombian groups but instead of reporting to the government they acknowledged the u.s. embassy so we were to disarm those groups and start controlling the intelligence agency who were to finance it appoint the heads of departments and work out a new law on the state intelligence service but it was adopted only in two thousand and nine that's why from two thousand and nine we have been reforming the intelligence service system but all those structures have been decaying and still there are people who managed to get in there but it's very difficult to reform the
12:41 am
system of intelligence so we're still working on it it's clear how those problems appeared but it's a big problem and we have to pay a lot of attention to that that was one of the mistakes we faced on the thirtieth of september those are mistakes ecuador's intelligence and the investigation revealed later on that the coup had been prepared three weeks in advance that was daring messages were sent via the internet and mobile phones everybody knew about the coup and the political supporters except the government. like. when you talk about these extreme right wing groups that supported opposition on the international arena and trying to obstruct the changes that are happening which groups are you talking about exactly. i won't mention any names we know who they are but i don't want to obstruct the investigation what i will say however is that these new tactics of the north american hocks the extreme right wing groups mainly in the us but also in latin america europe etc as they don't
12:42 am
have a central government but i will say however is that these new tactics of the north american harks the extreme right wing groups mean the us but also in latin america europe etc as they don't have a central government these new tactics are indirect they don't try to achieve a direct effect by the foreign policy of a state but instead use think tanks for conspiracy purposes how do they do that they finance conspiracies and work on the inside of a country by means of defamation fact distortion and misinformation we are called populist authoritarian dictators us the presidents that have run in the elections more often than anyone else but according to them since their politically correct candidates don't win we are the dictators isn't that right they distort facts to propagate their ideology like science all of these freedom figures in other words if you raise taxes you are endangering freedom and lowering their freedom level this is what all the newspapers are saying the freedom level in ecuador has decreased so it's all a conspiracy conspiracies are everywhere it's a new way to work for these ultra right groups they no longer have the support of
12:43 am
the u.s. so now they are plotting against obama himself financing opposition groups and depicting them as independent groups but what they are spreading is in fact their ideology. mr president to you and i talked in moscow a year ago over the course of that interview you describe yourself as a realist who is not afraid of change how do you become disappointed after the events of september the thirteenth what's the difference between the raft. of two thousand and nine and yourself today that. yes. i would say i'm the same person i was before september thirtieth but it was certainly an experience five people were killed. i can't stop thinking about that i keep asking myself what i could have done to avoid it the fact that i was so close to death has left an imprint on me of course i'm still worried children write to me asking me to start smiling again i have to do that it was obviously a very severe experience but we know our path wouldn't be paved with roses we
12:44 am
wanted to change our country but we could not imagine it would come to criminal extremities like it did on september thirtieth that makes us even more realistic but we can't afford to lose hope we have to keep fighting and keep believing that the country can be changed and that we can do it it was a heavy blow of course but we have to move forward. i thank you for your time but i . thank you very much this was a pleasure speaking with the government that. this
12:47 am
france's paralyzed by further part of protests against cutbacks and pension reform the unrest broke out after government announced plans to raise the retirement age from sixty to sixty two but i wonder is now turning towards alliances for the country's dire situation when us. prosecutors are to look into allegations of child abuse in one of russia's oldest convent teenage boarding students accused the nuns of beating them with belts splints and she would sleep and deprivation. and americans scared by the state of the economy and look for new ways an escape from reality for some at comicon sign find characters and become just a hobby but also the perfect writing place. for you to head down the latest sports teams and that hasn't been the best two weeks for russian teams the champions league good morning to you carrie yes indeed it's been a week where they couldn't even when both rubin no three points for either of them
