Ecuador's Prez Correa Declares Victory on New Constitution

09:13 H | Topics: Ecuador - Politics

correa.jpgThe trend in Latin America is to push to rewrite constitutions with socialist flair. Jumping on this trend is Ecuador's President Rafael Correa. Unofficially, a quick count by a local citizens' group at thousands of polls indicated strong support for the president's party in a vote that happened yesterday. The official results won't be known for at least 20 days. Some of the changes proposed include letting presidents serve two consecutive four-year terms instead of the one allowed now.
