ECUADOR: Congress seeks criminal proceedings against Patiño
Ecuador's congressional opposition has refused to accept President Rafael
Correa's endorsement of shamed economy minister Ricardo Patiño [WR-07-28] as
the last word. It has decided to turn evidence collected on Patiño's alleged
misuse of public funds over to the chief public prosecutor, in the hope that the
prosecution service will find grounds to recommend criminal proceedings against
the minister. One congressman has called for the impeachment of President
Correa.
