Ecuador's anti-imperialist former President Rafael Correa shared a picture that compared the inaugural ceremony of Bolivia's former like-minded president Evo Morales to self-proclaimed interim president Jeanine Anez, in an effort to say it all about the political situation in the Andean nation.

Correa pointed to the fact that the recently ousted Morales delivered his oath of office to civilian officials -- as per the country's constitution -- while Anez took charge with the backing of military staff, who were present at her inauguration.

In images Correa posted on Twitter on Tuesday, Morales can be seen receiving his presidential sash from then-Vice President Alvaro Garcia, while Anez received hers from the country's chief of staff.

While, in another frame, Morales is alongside Garcia and the Catholic Archbishop, Anez walks with an armed guard in front of a line of saluting soldiers.

Ecuador votes to limit presidents' terms in blow to Rafael Correa


Correa wasn't in power at the time though so couldn't take it to his lackeys in the court and back to Belgium he went.
