10:05countries that do not face external economic pressures
10:16we stay in venezuela as a new group of 150 nationals arrived in the country on a flight from honduras as
10:26part of the return to the homeland plan this new group of men and women landed at the simon bolivar
10:33international airport through the return to the homeland plan after the arrival of flight number 27 of
10:40this plan a multidisciplinary team offered comprehensive medical and social attention

10:515 000 men and women affected by the xenophobic policies of the u.s government which has carried out
10:58arbitrary detentions against the migrant population since the arrival of donald trump to the presidency
11:11in a quarter after the national assembly passed a partial amendment to the article 5 of the
11:15constitution to eliminate the express prohibition of the establishment of foreign military bases in
11:21national territory there have been several reactions gabriela mena tells us more in the following report
11:29after rafael correa became president of ecuador the prohibition of foreign military bases was enacted
11:36for reasons such as the increased indexes of violence and the record of multiple claims of right
11:42violations this particular base operated from the 2000 to 2009
11:47before they arrived the level of violent deaths that existed in ecuador was 1600
11:59after that it increased to 2625 and then without them they managed to lower crime impressively
12:07from 2625 to 934. ecuador was the second safest country in latin america in 2017 when president correa
12:19left the government the foreign bases constituted an infringement of ecuadorian sovereignty due to the
12:27fact that the bases headquarters were not regulated by ecuadorian law but by those of their own country
12:34furthermore it was not possible to control what occurred inside the bases and different crimes
12:39began to be reported adding that they had their own agenda of operations that the ecuadorian state did
12:45not know about when they were here there were sinking of boats complaints from fishermen who said they
12:54have been victims of abuses by various forces so there were always this type of scenarios
12:59there were even abuses of minors there were also situations of abuse in bars and since they had diplomatic
13:10status in this case the u.s marines had immunity they could not do anything to them nor could they be
13:19denounced when some controversy happened in ecuador they could leave the country and go away
13:25experts are concerned about the assembly's decision claiming that there is no evidence that the
13:33country's crime wave will be curved by allowing the entry of foreign military forces because what we
13:41are doing is handing over a part of our territory so that they can install themselves they are selling
13:45an imaginary world where people think that since they are going to bring a military base one thousand two
13:50thousand and three thousand soldiers are going to come and they are going to fight with the armed
13:54groups that is not so it is not going to happen in addition the experts consulted warned that foreign
14:01military presence not only affects national sovereignty but also impacts the entire region
14:08i believe that the assembly and the president have rushed to set a geopolitical agenda that includes us in
14:16an issue that we do not want which is an international word but doing this as has been done now without
14:23taking into account the present we had with the colombia plant is a mistake ecuador remains expected of the
14:30decision to be taken in the referendum for which it is estimated that the ecuadorian national electoral
14:36council will convene the polls within a maximum period of up to 45 days gabriel amena telesur ecuador
