Ecuador Political Tension Rises

Ecuador’s political confusion continues after a judge ordered 57 lawmaker, fired earlier this month by the country’s electoral tribunal (TSE), to be reinstated. The ruling on Wednesday left Congress in limbo as President Rafael Correa rallied support against what he described as an illegitimate decision. The conflict between Correa and Congress continues to deepen as he tries to push forward with his plans for constitutional reform which he has made a priority since taking power in January.
