Correa Bolsters
Ecuadorian Government
Ecuadorian President
Rafael Correa concluded
restructuring his team
of ministers this week,
aimed at reinforcing the
governmental activity as
a precaution against
possible adverse
political events.
Correa placed
trustworthy figures in
key posts to cope with
different functions in
the executive, including
Ricardo Patiño as
minister for political
coordination, Gustavo
Larrea as the
responsible to
coordinate homeland and
foreign security, and
Vinicio Alvarado, in
charge of information
and communication with
press.
In addition, the
President named Fernando
Bustamante as minister
of government, but
clarified that political
affairs will be in the
hands of Patiño.
Correa said internal and
external security is top
priority, and warned of
possible new
confrontations during
the functioning of the
Constituent Assembly and
process of change in the
country.
The failing old power
will put up resistance,
and will not easily give
in to transformations
for the benefit of all
Ecuadorians, he alerted,
and called for the
population to remain
united. |
