the word that was translated was likely "difundir"- which in this case means "to spread out"

just an fyi!

From what I heard on the radio, some days ago, it has been a coup. The President supressed the independence of judges and the army supports him.

Is it like that?

Ecuador replaces president for 'abandoning post'
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

QUITO, Ecuador

Ecuador's Congress removed embattled President Lucio Gutierrez from office Wednesday after a week of escalating street protests against him, and swore in Vice President Alfredo Palacio as Ecuador's new leader.

A special session made up of opposition congressmen in the 100-seat unicameral Congress took less than an hour to reach the decision with a vote of 62-0, in hopes of ending a crisis that was quickly spiraling out of control with the threat of violent clashes between Gutierrez supporters and opponents.

Legislators based the decision on a clause in the Constitution that allows Congress to remove a president for "abandonment of the position." Congressman Ramiro Rivera made the motion, arguing that since Gutierrez had not complied faithfully with the responsibilities of the presidency, Congress should declare it vacant.

Gutierrez, a cashiered army colonel elected in 2002 with a confrontational governing style, has had to deal with growing street protests demanding his ouster since last Wednesday. The demonstrators accuse him of trying to illegally control the three branches of government.
