He ran as the progressive candidate and successor of Correa then, once elected, proceeded to prosecute his supposed mentor, embrace neoliberalism and austerity, and, although not choosing to run for a second term, managed to put enough measures in place to suppress progressive candidates that his even-more-conservative opponent in the previous election was given an easy walk to the presidency thereafter. Him backing a military dictatorship in Bolivia is scarcely a surprise for that sellout.
