Retour
( Une politique au-delà de l'utopie )
Jacques Sarasin
2011 - 78 min - HDCam - Couleur - France
In a world of one-way traffic, where the northern countries are exporting their economic and political model worldwide, one country in Latin America has undertaken a profound reform of these models to invent a new type of governance, both pragmatic and humanistic.
The country in question is Ecuador.
Rafael Correa, an established economist, who came to politics as a man on a mission, was elected President in 2006.
Since coming to power, he has transformed a country with archaic structures into a social, independent, ecological and participative democracy.
He has given Ecuadorians genuine reason to believe that the rigid structures of the past were no longer inevitable, that ordinary citizens had their word to say, and that, at long last, their voices would be heard.
