Poveda said the letters "indicated precisely the concerns we have over withdrawal of nationality and asylum." So @Lenin Moreno is also planning to withdraw citizenship? He has to if he wants to legally evict #ASSANGE: #Ecuador's constitution protects citizens from extradition.
Poveda said #Assange's lawyers have been "keeping an eye on UK newspapers" and seeking to meet @Lenin Moreno "but at the moment there seems no possibility of doing so."
Poveda said that if #ASSANGE were being evicted he could still appeal to a higher level: "he has the right to meet state representatives and establish real evidence that he will be extradited to a third state."
Poveda said there is a lot of speculation but at this stage the only thing they can be sure of is the letters #Assange's defence team sent and Ecuador's refusal to meet with them.
Moreno is attending a disability forum at London's Olympic Park today Tues 23 July at 6:30pm then Hotel Intercontinental 8:45pm. He flies to Spain tomorrow. Edinburgh is also on his itinerary but I'm not sure when/where/why.
Also worth noting that Ecuador FM @ValenciaJoseEc previously said #Assange situation was in President @Lenin's hands, which may explain why nobody has responded to lawyers' letters.
Finally: the govt in Spain has changed since Julian was silenced months ago. But the new Socialist govt also took a hard line against #Catalonia. They would welcome Moreno evicting #Assange while on Spanish soil. Stay alert, folks!

#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP charged taxpayers up to $2,800 a month for his home internet bills. He also spent $16,880 of taxpayers' money on "personalised letterhead stationery". PS: he has blocked me just like Bishop, Morriscum and others. abc.net.au/news/2018-10-0…
#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP also flogging $5800 per person tours to Israel. michaelsmithnews.com/2018/10/for-sa… He's an Evangelical just like PM Morriscum (his wife is a church pastor). Also ex-army. And seems to be abusing secrecy powers...
#auspol MP @StuartRobertMP in March demanded parliament apologize for not helping Jews in WWII: timesofisrael.com/australian-mp-… Even the Council of Australian Jewry said he was wrong: Australian took 15,000 Jewish refugees! Now he's Assistant Treasurer!
This pathetic hack attacked #WikiLeaks and #Assange with smears and lies, now he loudly complains that nobody will return his calls. LMFAO. Put someone decent on the beat, @AP. #FreeASSANGE
AP claim they have "tens of thousands of files". But they are leading with Israel Samir asking the Russian embassy to give @JulianAssange asylum in 2010? It's well known @wikileaks was trying every option at the time. As Kristinn Hrafnsson says, that's “rather uninteresting.”
Have I got this wrong? 1. Ecuador wins compensation from Chevron for polluting. 2. Ecuador Supreme Court dismisses Chevron protest. 3. Ecuador govt dismisses Supreme Court judges. 4. Ecuador gets massive loans instead of Chevron compensation.
Chevron deliberately dumped 16 billon gallons of cancer-causing oil waste into #Ecuador rainforest waterways and abandoned 1,000 toxic waste pits. csrwire.com/press_releases…
Court ruled $19 billion liability, reduced to $12b. But Chevron no longer operates in #Ecuador, who therefore tried (unsuccessfully) to pursue the oil giant in foreign courts. Chevron has now counter sued: forbes.com/sites/michaelk…
THREAD: Once upon a time there were three brothers in #Iraq who wrote a pro-US blog welcoming the illegal invasion of their country... #Fullbright

Their names were Omar, Mohammed and Ali Fadhil. Their blog was called Iraq The Model (inspired by Neocon claims that the Iraq invasion would become a model for US expansion in ME).
The blog was wildly popular with the pro-war crowd and heavily featured in US corporate media. The Fadhil brothers even got invited to meet President Bush in the White House (thanks to Paul Wolfowitz).
