Recently, Ecuador opened a new chapter in its long-running legal campaign against U.S.-based Chevron Corporation. Government-backed lawyers purporting to represent residents of Ecuador’s Amazon rain forest filed a lawsuit to seize Chevron’s assets in Brazil in an attempt to collect a multi-billion-dollar award won last year in an Ecuadorian court. Regrettably, the Chevron case is but one of many recent examples of the destructive anti-free market and anti-democracy policies being pursued by Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa.
