Former President Correa calls inopportune popular consultation

Quito, Jan 3 (Prensa Latina) The former president of Ecuador Rafael Correa today described as inopportune the popular consultation proposed by the current president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa.

In an interview to Radio Pichincha, Correa denounced that 80 percent of the reform is pure criminal populism, which instead can be approved through laws analyzed in the National Assembly, he said.

Those are just things to give themselves a bath of popularity, but that costs 60 million dollars, when all the efforts of the country should be for the security of the country and to reactivate the economy, the former governor denounced in the local press media.

This Wednesday, a document circulated in social networks and in the national press with the questions that could be included in the referendum and that apparently were sent the day before to be reviewed by the Constitutional Court (CC).

In this sense, Correa warned that one of the questions circulating in social networks today is related to the reactivation of casinos, gambling halls, gambling houses or businesses dedicated to gambling.

If there is something that attracts organized crime is money laundering, and where money is laundered the most is in casinos. These are tremendously dangerous questions when the country’s main problem is violence, he said.
