Without unity of the opposition, its leaders will have played as bishops of the Government of Correa, says Negrete

Political analyst Alfredo Negrete, referring to the presidential elections of 2017 in Ecuador, said in an interview with Ecuavisa that our country, unlike Venezuela, where the opposition united to defeat Chavism in the last legislative elections, does not have the same tradition, although he cited two political agreements in Ecuador: the first in 1944, and its culmination in May 28 of that year, the formation of the Ecuadorian democratic alliance that joined conservatives, socialists and even communists; and the other, which was the civil and military cooperation during the return to democracy in 1979.

For Negrete, the opposition to the government is ‘absolutely blind’, it does not understand the meaning of unity, of strategy, and always sits at the negotiating table with a prerequisite: everything is possible, but I am first.
