  • #NEW PRESS RELEASE: Ecuador Suspends the Country’s Largest Opposition Party 🇪🇨

    Washington, DC — Acting on the request of the government-aligned Prosecutor General, an electoral judge in Ecuador on Friday ordered the nine-month suspension of the country’s largest opposition party, the Citizens’ Revolution (RC ). The Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) condemns the ban, which coincides exactly with the registration timeline for candidates in the 2027 local elections — effectively preventing the party from participating in the electoral process.

    “The government of President Daniel Noboa, who is strongly backed by President Trump, is trying to accelerate the destruction of what is left of democracy in Ecuador,” said CEPR Co-Director Mark Weisbrot.

    In recent weeks, a series of judicial and administrative measures have been launched against the RC. Led by former president Rafael Correa, the RC is widely considered the principal opposition force in Ecuador, with the country’s largest member base and territorial presence.

    “Democracy has been under attack since the presidency of Lenín Moreno (2017–2021), with not only the exclusion of political parties, but with persecution by lawfare, the imprisonment or forced exile of political opponents, and Noboa’s repeated assumption of ‘emergency’ powers and other abuses that have gutted civil liberties,” CEPR Director of International Policy Alex Main said.

    US Relocates THAAD From South Korea to Middle East Amid Iran War

    The United States, engaged in a war with Iran, has begun relocating part of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system deployed in South Korea to the Middle East, the Washington Post (WP) reported on the 9th (local time), citing two U.S. Department of Defense officials.

    According to the WP, the U.S. military expended $5.6 billion (approximately 8.26 trillion Korean won) worth of ammunition in the first two days of airstrikes against Iran, rapidly depleting advanced weaponry. As advanced weapon stockpiles neared exhaustion, the U.S. military has been redeploying air defense assets from the Indo-Pacific region. Additionally, Patriot interceptor missiles are being diverted from other regions to counter Iran’s drone and ballistic missile attacks.
