I'm out of the loop on the "Presidente Ezequiel" reference? Can someone tell me what that means?

In the movie, The Dancer Upstairs, which was based on fighting the leftist Shining Path movement in Peru, whenever one of its sympathizers got caught he/she would scream insanely, "VIVA EL PRESIDENTE EZEQUIEL!!!" One of the characters was a seemingly normal dance instructor but when she was revealed as a Shining Path sympathizer she started screaming "VIVA EL PRESIDENTE EZEQUIEL!!!" in a complete change of character. The point being that when many of the seemingly normal Democrats finally realize that Bush is going to be re-elected, they will have a similar mental meltdown moment.

You sort of have to see The Dancer Upstairs (great movie) to get the full effect of the insanity of the people screaming, "VIVA EL PRESIDENTE EZEQUIEL!!!"
