And just like the NY cops who turned their back on de Blasio last night, the cops in Quito engaged in symbolic action meant to delegitimize Correa. The president then launched a confrontational speech: he loosened his tie, opened his shirt, repeatedly pointing to his chest and saying: “You want to kill the president, here he is. Kill me, if you want to. Kill me if you are brave enough!” (a good example of how politics, in Latin America, is still Jacobin, unmediated and taking place in the public square).
