	The people prevail
		Gutierrez himself had a role to play in the ouster of his predecessor, President Jamil Mahuad, in a military coup in 2000.
		Gutierrez, then a lieutenant colonel in the army, was the mastermind behind the coup, and had to spend some time in jail for his role in the overthrow of an elected government.

		On the morning of 21 January a section of the Ecuadorian armed forces, led by Colonel Lucio Gutierrez occupied the parliament, the presidential palace and the Supreme Court.
		Gutierrez, who was arrested for his role in the coup became a national hero overnight as a champion of the poor, the indigenous people and as a crusader against neo-liberal economic policies and US imperialism.
		Gutierrez also went back on an election promise to reconsider the dollarization of the Ecuadorian economy, which had led to a severe fall in incomes of ordinary citizens and which was ironically the issue over which the previous regime of Jamil Mahuad had fallen.

	SOA Watch
		Brazil has granted asylum to former Ecuador President Lucio Gutierrez, who was in the Brazilian Embassy on Thursday after being removed from office by Congress amid street protests calling for his ouster for abuse of power and misrule.
		The setup to Gutierrez's political fall was a struggle for control of Ecuador's judiciary system after he negotiated a loose alliance of legislators to purged the Supreme Court — a move widely viewed as a gross violation of Ecuador's Constitution.
		Gutierrez's opponents charged he cut a deal with Bucaram to have the Supreme Court clear him of corruption charges, allowing his return, as payback for key votes Bucaram's political party provided last year blocking an impeachment effort against Gutierrez in Congress.

		Lucio’s denial about the seriousness of a crisis and the scale of the opposition is not a good sign, and hopefully does not mean that he anticipates having to justify repression or human rights violations.
		Contrary to Lucio’s claims about the number of his opponents, and of their being confined to a hard core in the city of Quito, the protests have apparently spread to the coast, especially to Guayaquil.

	Lucio Gutierrez
		Gutierrez, a military man of humble origins and an ex-golpista (coup leader) had been elected President on the backs of Ecuador's indigenous people.
		In the short time which has passed since the elections, many indicators suggest that Gutierrez's term is not going to address the needs of the Ecuadorian majority, especially the forgotten classes that put him in power.
		Where the logic of the old guard fails is in their inability to differentiate between the "populism" that put Col. Gutierrez in power and the "populism" practiced by Alvaro Noboa or Abdala Bucaram.
