While Ecuador is concerned about the earthquake, the Court decided on re-election of Correa

The ruling states that “by failing to alter the fundamental structure of the Constitution, the nature and constituent elements of the state, by failing to impose restrictions on the rights and guarantees, and not changing the procedures for amending the Constitution … this shall be processed as a constitutional amendment, in accordance with the provisions of Section 441, paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the Republic.”
The next step is that the Constitutional Court approves the constitutionality of the question posed by the Rafael With You Always group. The request for consultation or referendum may be submitted by the president or any citizen group, to do this they must have the support of at least 8 percent of those registered in the electoral registry.
