QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuadorean President Lenin Moreno is calling WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange a hacker.
But Moreno added Monday that even though he considers Assange a hacker, Ecuador’s government will allow the Australian to remain at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
Assange responded on Twitter that he is a journalist and editor, and said even the U.S. does not call him a hacker.
Speaking to journalists in Quito, Moreno called on Assange not to interfere in internal politics of Ecuador or other countries.
