Se acabó la cordialidad entre el presidente y su predecesor y antiguo mentor Rafael Correa.
Ecuador
The gloves are off between the president and his predecessor and former mentor, Rafael Correa.
To fix Ecuador's struggling economy, Moreno will need to break from his predecessor – without alienating his supporters.
"Today, the vote isn’t just [based on] promises about the future, but the fact that life has the potential of getting worse,” points out AS/COA's Eric Farnsworth.
"Despite a desire to improve relations with the United States, there is little likelihood that a Moreno government would break publicly with Caracas," comments AS/COA’s Eric Farnsworth.
Although Lenín Moreno's win is now official, his rival Guillermo Lasso is crying foul.
Outgoing President Rafael Correa's mining deals have alienated groups that once supported him. That could cost his heir apparent.
