The “World Chamber of Ecuadorian Migrants,” an Ecuadorian non-profit created to help Ecuadorian and other migrants around the world, has posted a link to Panel 2 of this weekend’s Schiller Institute conference Dec. 7-8 to its Facebook page. That is the panel on “Great Projects To Overcome the Migrant Crisis.”
An estimated 1.2 million Ecuadorians live abroad now, around 8% of the nation’s people, the overwhelming majority of whom left their country in order to survive economically, most going to the U.S. and Spain. The destruction of the Ecuadorian skyrocketed after it was forced in January 2000 by the State Department and Wall Street to give up its sovereign currency, and use the U.S. dollar instead. Then-U.S. Presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche denounced the imposed-dollarization as “genocide.” The country has struggled, but has never recovered from that imperialist assault. Note that members of the “World Chamber” have participated in IPC meetings prior to this.
