ECUADOR: Jubilant Moreno plays to the base
President-elect Lenín Moreno, who will take office on 24 May, celebrated confirmation of his second-round victory with a rally in the name of “peace, happiness and the defence of democracy”. In a speech to his supporters, who he praised as ‘champions of peace and life’, Moreno said that the outgoing President Rafael Correa had left the path “well signposted” and the bar “set high”. Correa purred that he was delighted to be handing Moreno “a stable and growing economy”. Focusing on his immediate audience, Moreno pledged that his new government would work first and foremost for the most vulnerable in society.
