President Correa withdraws bills

During a nationally televised address, President Rafael Correa announced he will temporarily withdraw two bills (distribution of wealth and extraordinary gains).

The reason, the president said, is to find an atmosphere of peace, joy and reflection before the visit of Pope Francis to Ecuador.

Correa gave a speech in the morning, during the change of guard, in which he ratified that the laws only hurt to 2% of the population: the richest.

He also said that behind the opposition demonstrations there are destabilizing attempts and manipulation of information. He accused political opponents, without saying names, of causing unrest in the country and employers in of believing themselves redeemers.
