RAFAEL CORREA


Exiled ex-Ecuador president doesn't exclude political return

Ecuador Belgium Correa Interview FILE - Former Ecuador President Rafael Correa gestures during an interview with Associated Press in Brussels, Sept. 11, 2020. Former Ecuador president Rafael Correa said on Monday, April 25, 2022 that the political asylum he was granted in Belgium is proof he is persecuted by his country's authorities and did not rule out a return to politics. “So if I need to return to my country to win the election, I should do that," he said. Correa's lawyer, Christophe Marchand, said the asylum application was filed because the former head of State was targeted for political reasons. “It’s not easy to get the status of political refugee for a former head of state,” Marchand said.

Exiled ex-Ecuador president doesn't exclude political return

Correa said the only way for him to stop what he perceives as political persecution would be to hold an elected position again. “So if I need to return to my country to win the election, I should do that," he said. Ecuador's National Court of Justice president Iván Saquicela said last week that he signed the order initiating the extradition process in relation with Correa's sentencing in the corruption case. Correa's lawyer, Christophe Marchand, said the asylum application was filed because the former head of State was targeted for political reasons. “It’s not easy to get the status of political refugee for a former head of state,” Marchand said.

Ecuador, Peru to elect presidents amid strengthened pandemic

A surging pandemic that has brought new lockdown measures has pushed the upcoming elections to the background for many weary voters in the neighboring South American nations of Ecuador and Peru.

Ecuador looks to runoff vote for president in April

It remains undecided which of the two has the votes to advance to the run-off race in April to face frontrunner Andres Arauz. (AP Photo/Dolores Ochoa)QUITO – Final results from a Feb. 7 presidential election in Ecuador confirmed that former banker Guillermo Lasso came second behind leading candidate Andrés Arauz, meaning the two will contest a runoff vote in April, election officials said Sunday. Pérez alleged fraud after the results that indicated he had fallen just short of defeating Lasso and making it to the runoff. The council “may declare fraudulent electoral results, but the true results are in the hearts of Ecuadorians who supported a new political project that reflects the dreams of a dignified and honest Ecuador,” Pérez tweeted. Indigenous communities led protests in October 2019 that forced Ecuador’s government to back down on a move to end fuel subsidies.

Leftist leads in early returns for Ecuador presidential vote

(AP Photo/Dolores Ochoa)QUITO – A young leftist backed by a convicted-but-popular former president led the field of 16 candidates in early returns from Ecuador’s presidential election Sunday, which was held under strict sanitary measures due to the coronavirus pandemic. Arauz got 31.5% of the votes, while Pérez had 20.04% and Lasso had 19.97%, according to the Electoral Council of Ecuador. To win outright, a candidate needed 50% of the vote, or to have at least 40% with a 10-point lead over the closest opponent. Pérez's challenge to grab second place surprised some observers as he had trailed behind Arauz and Lasso in pre-election polls. That conviction barred him from running as Arauz's vice presidential candidate.

The pandemic paralyzed 70% of businesses last year and left 600,000 unemployed, bringing the country’s unemployment rate to almost 68%.

(AP Photo/Ariana Cubillos)CARACAS – President Nicolás Maduro has cemented formal control over all major institutions of power in Venezuela with authorities reporting Monday that his political alliance easily won a majority in congress.
