Ecuador: Rafael Correa Wins Election · Global Voices

A.M. Mora y Leon tries to make sense of Rafael Correa's win on Sunday in Ecuador's presidential election: “And maybe it’s understandable – Correa was a fresh face. Noboa was an oligarch. Correa must have seemed more like an outsider, more willing to be worth the gamble to focus on the poor, via handouts.” Greg of Two Weeks Notice adds, “Perhaps the most problematic for democracy will be the resistance he will face in the legislature, with the lack of a loyal opposition, though this will obviously depend on what types of reforms he attempts.” Both Milton Ramirez and Erwin Cifuentes do the media reaction roundup while Boz pens his usual five points.
