The presidential candidate apparently in 2nd place in Ecuador's election, who will go to a runoff in April, Yaku Pérez, claims to be "left-wing," but his US-backed party Pachakutik is a Trojan horse for right-wing oligarchs & US imperialism

Ecuador's so-called "left-wing" environmentalist presidential candidate Yaku Pérez is from the party Pachakutik, closely tied to US/EU govt-funded NGOs
The US NDI (a CIA cutout) trained Pachakutik leaders, alongside right-wing Venezuelan & Mexican leaders

Ecuador's US-backed fake "left-wing" party Pachakutik helped lead a violent 2010 coup attempt against elected socialist President Rafael Correa, working with the right-wing and traitorous soldiers and police.
This mirrored US coups in Venezuela & Honduras

Ecuador's US-backed Trojan horse "left-wing" environmentalist candidate Yaku Pérez supported right-wing US-backed coups in Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.
Yaku openly called for elected socialist Presidents Correa and Maduro to be overthrown https://twitter.com/yakuperezg/status/798519749705601025

Ecuador's US-backed fake "left-wing" presidential candidate Yaku Pérez often uses right-wing talking points, denouncing socialists Correa in Ecuador and Maduro in Venezuela as “colonial, ethnocidal, and racist," & "authoritarian, extractivist, and corrupt" https://twitter.com/yakuperezg/status/804687067938783232
While Ecuador's fake "left-wing" presidential candidate Yaku Pérez condemns socialists in Latin America, he's curiously silent about the murderous US govt
Yaku has friendly meetings with the US ambassador, & posed with a US flag at a welcome party for him

Many Ecuadorian Indigenous leaders were invited to Bolivian leftist President Arce's inauguration
Yaku Pérez was not, because he supported the US-backed far-right coup against Evo Morales
Yaku was silent as the coup regime massacred Indigenous protesters http://www.pichinchacomunicaciones.com.ec/evo-morales-no-invito-a-yaku-perez-porque-el-candidato-de-pachakutik-celebro-la-dictadura-de-la-derecha-en-bolivia-segun-dirigente-indigena/

The wife of Ecuador's fake "left-wing" presidential candidate Yaku Pérez, French-Brazilian academic Manuela Picq, is an infamous anti-Correa activist
Picq worked for Florida's Republican governor
Her Ecuador work was funded by NGOs bankrolled by EU govts https://thegrayzone.com/2021/02/06/yaku-perez-pachakutik-ecuador-us-coup/

Yaku Pérez's wife Manuela Picq also claims to be a "left-wing" environmentalist and is staunchly anti-Correismo.
In 2003, Picq served as a “foreign affairs specialist” in the Office of International Relations for Florida's Republican Governor Jeb Bush

Like Yaku Pérez, his wife Manuela Picq supported the US-backed far-right racist coup in Bolivia
During the putsch she spread insane disinfo claiming Evo was "launching a civil war with his militias" and the leftist MAS party was raping women in the street https://twitter.com/manuelapicq/status/1193927143694180358

In the lead-up to the far-right coup, Yaku Pérez' US-based wife Manuela Picq spread disinformation preposterously accusing Evo Morales (Bolivia's first & only ever Indigenous president) of carrying out an “ecocide” & “genocide”
Totally unhinged propaganda https://twitter.com/chgsumn/status/1177251583140278273

Mere days before the coup in Bolivia, Yaku Perez's US-based wife Manuela Picq joked that she had “wet dreams” fantasizing about overthrowing democratically elected socialist Indigenous President Evo Morales https://twitter.com/manuelapicq/status/1189033420799827969
So who is promoting Ecuador's US-backed, coup-supporting presidential candidate Yaku Pérez?
Well right-wing corporate lobby group AS/COA published hilarious propaganda promoting Yaku as the "left-wing" choice over actual leftist Correista candidate Arauz https://twitter.com/BrenOBoyle/status/1356301897628577800

These are the corporations that fund right-wing lobby group @ASCOA, which is promoting Ecuador's candidate Yaku Pérez.
Why would BlackRock, Boeing, Chevron, Chiquita, Exxon, Goldman, Lockheed, Raytheon and Walmart support a "leftist"? Because he's not one

While Ecuador's leftist Correista candidate Arauz wants to give $1000 checks to one million working-class Ecuadorian families, Yaku Pérez attacked the plan, claiming in classist nonsense that poor citizens would spend all the money on beer in one day http://ecuadorya.com/yaku-perez-los-pobres-se-gastan-la-plata-en-cerveza/
Leftist Correista candidate Arauz wants to reject the IMF & build economic ties with China to help develop Ecuador.
Meanwhile, fake "left-wing" candidate Yaku Pérez condemned China and said he “will not think twice” about signing a trade deal with the USA https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/2021/01/14/nota/9528838/yaku-perez-no-es-descabellado-acuerdo-comercial-estados-unidos

Ecuador's presidential candidate Yaku Pérez is a textbook controlled opposition
US imperialism and right-wing anti-Correa oligarchs understand the fake "left" opposition can sometimes be even more effective at undermining actually existing socialist govts https://thegrayzone.com/2021/02/06/yaku-perez-pachakutik-ecuador-us-coup/
