President Rafael Correa left open the possibility to concur again to the 2017 presidential election.

For Correa, on the Ecuadorian capital, “has earned a distinct right side, who has power strategy and falls within the framework of the imperial offensive against the progressive governments of Latin America.”

“So I think it is my duty to review the sincere decision I made of not be launched for reelection, because I have a responsibility to ensure that this process be irreversible,” he said.

The president considered it necessary that the country begins to discuss the constitutional restrictions on re-election.
