HAVANA, Cuba, April 27 (acn) After being reelected president of Ecuador last Sunday, Rafael Correa confirmed that he is to emphasize his socialist project. The leader of the Movimiento Alianza País achieved a historic and unprecedented victory.
No other candidate has won in the first electoral round since 1976. The triumph allows Correa to govern until 2013, says a Granma newspaper report.
"Socialism, of course, will continue. The Ecuadorian people voted for that," he declared, adding: "When have we concealed our ideological orientation? We are going to emphasize this fight for social justice; for regional justice….we are going to continue the fight to eliminate ll forms of workplace exploitation within our socialist conviction: the supremacy of human work over capital," EcoDiario quoted the president.
While not yet official, the election results confirm survey findings: Correa would win in the first round. A rapid recount by the Participación Ciudadana nongovernmental organization, with 71.5% of the votes counted, places Correa of the Movimiento Alianza País in first place with 51.7%, and Lucio Gutiérrez of the Partido Sociedad Patriótica second, with 28.4% of the vote, EFE reports.
"Nobody is in any doubt that our preferential option is for the poorest people, we are here because of them," Correa affirmed before ending with a Hasta la victoria siempre.
