FORMER Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa insists that democracy will prevail in the Latin American country despite the government waging “lawfare” in a bid to block his candidacy in the 2021 election.
The left-wing leader, who is currently living in Belgium, spoke exclusively to the Morning Star.
He warned that US influence is undermining democracy in Ecuador and across the region as it fears a loss of influence and access to resources.
