ECUADORIAN President Rafael Correa has
slammed the “smear campaign” by his Argentinian counterpart against socialist
ally Venezuela. Argentinian president-elect Mauricio Macri pledged to have
Venezuela expelled from South American trade bloc Mercosur over the jailing of
opposition leaders for orchestrating deadly anti-government protests. But Mr
Correa said on Wednesday that Mr Macri’s comments were “clearly an interference
in the internal affairs of Venezuela.” The Ecuadorian leader pointed out that
President Nicolas Maduro’s Unified Socialist Party (PSUV) had won elections
freely and fairly since 1998. Popular Will party leader Leopoldo Lopez was
sentenced to nearly 14 years in jail in September after being convicted of
inciting the anti-government riots that killed more than 40 people last year.
