NPR Interview With Ecuador’s Ambassador To The U.S.

NPR.ORG INTERVIEW WITH ECUADOR’S AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S.: AMBASSADOR NATHALIE CELY: It’s been difficult. And I’m not going to deny that. It’s been difficult. It’s been also difficult to educate different actors here in the United States about what is the government of President Correa about.

KELEMEN: Rafael Correa has been president for seven years and was a close ally of the late leftist president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. But Ambassador Cely says there’s much more to him.

CELY: Sometimes, you have, here, a tendency of oversimplifying things and see things in sort of, like, black and white lenses, you know. Either you are in a good left camp or in the bad left camp. READ/LISTEN to NPR INTERVIEW
