FORMER Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa warned of an “undemocratic violation of human rights” today after his party, Compromiso Social, was blocked from standing in elections.
Current President Lenin Moreno was accused of “yet another power grab” and interfering to illegally dissolve the party that, according to latest polling, would win both parliamentary and presidential elections.
Mr Correa was president of Ecuador from 2007 to 2017 and remains hugely popular in the country, with a 72 per cent approval rating. Polls suggest that, should he be allowed to contest elections, he would again win the presidency.
Compromiso Social is the largest political force in Ecuador. But last week the National Electoral Council (CNE) removed the party from the list of those able to participate in the February 2021 elections.
