Ecuador's Correa says FARC video is a set up

Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa denied on Saturday that he ever received funds from Colombian rebel group FARC, and said a video claiming he did was "a set up." A top FARC leader said in a video aired on Colombian television on Friday that the guerrillas donated cash to Correa's presidential campaign. During his weekly media address, Correa vehemently denied that he ever got money from the FARC, which is branded a terrorist group by Washington, and said the video is part of a regional bid to destabilize left-leaning governments. "This campaign, is not only taking place in Colombia, it's happening in the region, where the right has launched an attack, and they are using ... all the weapons they have, among them, the media, to destabilize progressive governments," he said. "This is a set up to hurt the country's image, the image of the government," he said.
