Ecuador Presidential Elections 2021 – Lauca Ñ Live

Ecuador is holding presidential elections on February 7th as President Lenin Moreno ends his term with extraordinarily low public support, having committed offenses against the Ecuadorian people and sovereignty while plummeting the economy into neoliberal crisis long before the coronavirus. Guests Joe Emersberger, a political writer based in Canada with Ecuadorian roots joins us (Twitter @rosendo_joe) along with Andrea Guillem, an Ecuadorian feminist activist and coordinator for gender and economic research for the Center of Economic and Social Rights, who joins us from Quito.
