New Constitution


The last Sunday Ecuadorians approved the Project of new Constitution. The new constitution was approved with the 64% of the people who voted. The elections happened on calm, with lots of traffic in a sunny day in Quito.


This impressive majority is a big support to the President Correa’s political project. The most visible opponent (Major Nebot, from Guayaquil) had announced that he won’t run for the reelection if the approval for the new Constitution wins in Guayaquil. Finally people from Guayaquil said mainly no to the new constitution, even when the majority got an advantage of 2 points only.

After this historical change, we expect the announcement of the new elections, when the president and all the democratic authorities will be elected in the next months.
The opponents are also pending on the changes announced with the Constitution. The entire text of it is available in this link.
