POLITICS: Correa moves into conciliatory mode
With the economy spluttering, at best, President Rafael Correa is appearing much more accommodating on the political and economic front. This applies to both politicians Correa customarily dismisses outright as part of the disgraced partidocracia and the local private sector to which he has reached out. The most eye-catching development was Correa’s recent decision to attend a public event in Ecuador’s business and commercial capital of Guayaquil, where he shook hands with the city’s mayor Jaime Nebot, an inveterate opponent who Correa has avoided meeting for eight years. But a cabinet reshuffle was also noteworthy for changes to key figures in production ministries.
