Caracas, March 6 ABN.- Before the fake charges presented by the Colombian Government regarding the relation of presidents of Venezuela and Ecuador with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, (FARC), Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa expressed that “we cannot be related to a subject who has lost the world's credibility.”

Correa issued this information this Wednesday 5^th at the end of the private meeting he held with his counterpart from Venezuela, Hugo Chávez Frías, at the Miraflores' Presidential Palace.

“Ecuador has been bombed by a bellicose agressor Administration. Their lies are falling down: They first wanted to deny the attempt against our sovereignty, then they recognized it. Faced to that, from prosecutor they became defendant,” said Correa regarding the fake proofs consigned in a computer, allegedly belonging to the deceased FARC second-in-command Raúl Reyes, which charge him and Chávez of having close links with this organization.

“So much cheek, so much indecency, so much nerve on behalf of Alvaro Uribe's Administration, that he made us break relations with a government which does not know the meaning of loyalty, decency, of being bolivarian, that is the treason,” affirmed the Ecuadorian president.

He stressed that President Uribe and his Minister of Defense, Juan Manuel Santos, want to lie to Ecuador and to the world, and so “we cannot be related to that kind of Administration,” though he also expressed that the relations between the people of Ecuador and Colombia will everlasting.

Correa expressed that if the international community does not condemn the agressor (Colombian government) “without doubts”, “Ecuador, a small, peaceful, worthy and sovereign country, will know how to make respect its sovereignty.”

Besides, he expressed that “today has been taken an important step forward, we are happy.”

Finally, he added that as much as they (Colombian government) “talk, the more they make mistakes and contradict themselves.”
