Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden was a special agent that worked in CIA but he made a mistake because he revealed important information about the American government. He escaped and it is supposed that he is hiding somewhere in Russia. Evo Morales, Bolivia´s president, was in Moscow in a convention of gas exporting companies and when he was returning to Bolivia, there were some rumors that in that airplane, was hidden Snowden. When they heard those rumors, the plane had to make a non-planed stop in Vienna, Austria. But France and Portugal, the countries where he was supposed to stop, refused to this making the plane stop in Austria. But before this, Snowden was asking for asylum in Ecuador and after hearing all that is happening right now, Correa is regretting the fact that he was going to give him asylum. Because of what happened in Europe with Morales, the UNASUR (Union de Naciones de America del Sur), decided to have a meeting to decide what to do about this whole issue because they took it as an insult to the whole South America. After the meeting, they demanded a public apology to Bolivia after denying the plane to land on their country.  After everything that is going on, countries like Ecuador or Brasil, have apparently joined together and are all feeling insulted by this. This issue has also brought problems to south America because due to the fact that Ecuador offered Snowden asylum, united states has taken it as betrayal and there is some kind of conflict between both of them and there are some rumors saying that United States is behind this whole issue, and thanks to this, Morales is saying that they won’t regret closing the American embassy.
