Ecuador poll candidates dismay environmentalists Agence France-Presse © Provided by The Manila Times QUITO: 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 socioenvironmental unit at the Simon Bolivar University, told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
