Ecuador's historic election explained: Inside the Citizens' Revolution

Ben Norton traveled to Ecuador to report on the historic election, which pits a wealthy US-backed right-wing banker against a left-wing economist who pledges to continue the socialist Citizens' Revolution launched by former President Rafael Correa.

In this dispatch, working-class Ecuadorians explain why they support leftist candidate Andrés Arauz and oppose the repressive Washington-allied government of Lenín Moreno.

UPDATE: Ecuador holds a run-off election between left-wing economist Andrés Arauz and right-wing banker Guillermo Lasso on April 11. This report and mini documentary was published before the first round of the vote on February 7, but still provides context for the run-off.
