Ecuador opposition offers alternative constitution

Development: On 21 August the opposition presented an alternative constitution to challenge the text proposed by the government of President Rafael Correa.
 
Significance: The so-called "Citizen's constitution" was drawn up by opposition delegates from the national constituent assembly to express their opposition to Correa's constitutional project. If the new constitution is not approved in the referendum on 28 September, the opposition asambleí­stas have said that they will present the document to (the currently dissolved) congress, which will be re-instated.
