Correa says Noboa's plebiscite was a defeat disguised as a win
Former Ecuadorean head of state Rafael Correa said from exile to avoid a prison sentence for corruption that his country's referendum last Sunday in which the current President Daniel Noboa received broad support for nine questions regarding security issues and strengthening the fight against organized crime was “a triumph” for the people ahead of the 2025 elections and a “resounding defeat” for the government.
