ECUADOR: Getting the revolution into the Revolution
The ruling Alianza País (AP), perhaps using the distraction of the Ecuadorean national team’s appearance in the Fifa World Cup in Brazil, has moved at breakneck speed in the national assembly to advance a series of reforms described by President Rafael Correa as “truly revolutionary”. Not all of the proposed reforms appear ‘revolutionary’. Some, such as amending the constitution to allow indefinite presidential re-election and to limit ‘democratic participation’ by the public, might be better described as reactionary.
