ECUADOR: Victimised Correa strikes back
President Rafael Correa made headlines globally this week after he launched a stinging verbal attack on a senior World Bank official during the Ibero-American summit in Asunción. He also argued at the summit that bad press was “putting the security of the nation at risk.” Correa harbours a grudge against the World Bank which he believes pulled out on a loan for Ecuador because it disapproved of his political project. He is convinced that the domestic press misrepresents this project. Now Correa is determined to show, through the judicial reform he is masterminding, that his political project is working for the good of Ecuador rather than concentrating power in his hands.
