President Rafael Correa assumed the victory of their proposals in the referendum to be held in Ecuador. It is the third in his few more than four years in office and reinforces in power. The consultation proposes a major judicial reform that will allow the Executive to have more control over the system, and the creation of a monitoring body for the press will also be useful to the government to limit freedom of expression.
Although the referendum has 10 questions ranging from the great judicial reform to the banning of the bulls or gambling, Ecuador's political polarization has become a referendum on Correa management. "The constituent power belongs only to the people and nobody can take away that right. The citizens exercising their right to transform the present and future.
It's the new radical democracy in the country," Correa said this morning, the initiation of consultation. The president has urged citizens to continue to "trusting the government with clean hands" and vowed to continue his work for social justice. The third query Correa has not only been challenged by the opposition but also by many of the allies and former allies of the president.
The Popular Democratic Movement (MPD) and the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) said: "This time Mr. arrogant." The host had no presidential plans between old ideologues of "citizens' revolution" and recognized figures crucial to the regime. Alberto Acosta, former leader of the governing Movimiento Alianza Pais, former energy minister and former president of the Constituent Assembly adopted the current Constitution, severely criticized the president: "There is no doubt that Correa is willing to pay any price to be able to control justice: reissue care practices oligarchic governments, only now count on the complicity of the Ecuadorian people.
" With similar criteria, Gustavo Larrea, a former government minister, coordinator of the campaign "this time", said that the referendum violates civil liberties. He said this "not going to solve the issue of injustice, crime and organized crime, nor the issue of justice. What it does mean is bans on civil liberties and violate freedom of expression, human rights and the presumption of innocence.
" Moreover, "it aims to put his hand to justice and undermining judicial independence." "Who will now control abuses of power? Does finger appoint judges did not involve control of justice and, therefore, that the country reign of impunity?" He said. However, for Rolando Panchana, vice president of the National Assembly, Acosta expressions are nothing more than "intellectual arrogance" because it "can not admit he was wrong, can not admit the truth.
And we've had to resort to this referendum to correct errors in the Constitution passed in Montecristi when he was chairman of the Assembly. Therefore, it has become necessary to make reforms. " For Larrea criticism for Panchana be explained because "is to take this opportunity to reconcile with the press after the media lynching and the consequent loss of credibility when it is linked with the FARC and other rebel groups in Colombia" .
More reforms convinced of victory in the consultation, the Correa government is prepared to accelerate reforms for which tries to get to Ecuador from what he calls "the long night of neoliberalism" and build "socialism of the XXI century." "It remains now to accomplish the tasks as soon as possible, to benefit the people," said Panchana.
"And that is what we will do immediately." Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said that from this Monday and will begin to see changes in areas such as justice and rights for workers. He emphasized that "the Government will continue to make all the consultations are necessary to achieve the advancement of the people." The former president Oswaldo Hurtado (Popular Democracy), and leading figure in an opposition unable to produce credible new leaders, said today that "electoral fraud XXI century, and not getting done as soon as polling booths.
It does before the election. The propaganda of the Government without limits is a form of electoral fraud. The infamous television channels in recent days slandering the media to get votes for Yes, it is a form of electoral fraud. " In a recent forum in the newspaper Hoy, Hurtado wrote: "Correa is determined to put under his command two institutions that have not fully control: Justice and the press."
