Correa Backs Up Chavez Non-Renewal of TV License

Havana, Jun 11 (acn) President Rafael Correa stressed Sunday that he 
would cancel any TV station in his country that were to conspire 
against his government just as President Hugo Chavez' did not renew the 
broadcast license of RCTV in Venezuela.

"I can tell you very clearly, if it was proved that a television 
channel supported a coup like it was proven RCTV did, I would cancel 
the channel," Correa told Hoy newspaper, as reported by PL news agency.

He said that Chavez did not even do that, but rather "waited to not 
renew their contract." "I'm sorry, but I will never support 
conspirators," stressed Correa.

The Ecuadorian government is facing fierce opposition from a sector 
of the private media that Correa calls "mediocre, corrupt and 
deceitful."

Just as in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Nicaragua are also 
countries where governments promoting changes to benefit the majority 
of their populations face stiff opposition from media in the hands of 
the oligarchies.

Meanwhile from Caracas, President Hugo Chavez alerted that the 
protests against the no-renewal of the broadcast license of RCTV are 
part of a new opposition plan supported by the US government to 
destabilize the country.

Chavez said that once again the massive support for the political 
process taking place in Venezuela would make the plot fail.
