Maybe in the past but Correa has worked hard to tackle corruption and has succeeded in improving Ecuador's economy and bringing down poverty and unemployment, I am not aware of any human rights abuses committed under his government. People misrepresent his policy on the media as some sort of crackdown on free speech ignoring that the press have a huge amount of financial power and is dominated by private monopolies opposed to Correa's reforms and they abuse their power. I watched his interview with Assange on his RT show a few weeks ago and it's actually quite interesting

This was always gonna be a lose lose situation for Correa (the US are their biggest trading partner after all) but he's handled this mess as best as he could and I'm glad he made the decision he did
