US bases should be expelled from Ecuador! In 2007 I visited Manta base in Ecuador the US large military baser. Rafael Correa had promised that if he was eleceted pfresident in 2006 the base agreement with the US should be abolished. He won the election. It was an important victory for the Ecuadorian people and the base agreement was NOT renewed. But his prodessessor Lenin Moreno ruined it all and the US was allowed in again..I urge you to take a brave stand on US basesn in Ecuador.
