ECUADOR: Congress approves return of foreign military bases
President Daniel Noboa has taken a key step towards undoing one of the defining legacies of his left-wing predecessor Rafael Correa (2007-2017) – the ban on foreign military bases that was enshrined in Ecuador’s 2008 constitution. On 3 June the national assembly approved a constitutional reform bill to repeal the ban. This is not the end of the road, however, as the bill will now need to be put to voters in the form of a referendum, which must first receive the backing of the constitutional court.
