Environmentalists dismayed by Ecuador presidential candidates Author: AFP|Update: 07.04.2021 08:35 Ecuadorans must choose between Andres Arauz (left) and Guillermo Lasso to be their next president, but environmentalists are not impressed / © AFP Environmental activists will feel stuck between a rock and hard place on Sunday when forced to choose a new president. Leftist Andres Arauz faces the right-wing Guillermo Lasso in a run-off election with both vowing to continue oil and mineral extraction, which has already devastated a sixth of Ecuador s Amazon jungle. Ecuador remains immersed in an extractivist policy. That is to say that both candidates believe Ecuador s future is in oil and that has nothing to do with reality, Carlos Larrea, the director of the socio-environmental unit at the Simon Bolivar University, told AFP.
