ECUADOR: Moreno eyeing big shake-up
Ecuador’s President Lenín Moreno announced his decision this week to dissolve the national intelligence agency (Senain). Moreno justified the course of action as part and parcel of his commitment to cost-cutting, but the jubilant reaction of the political opposition served as confirmation that it was perceived as a move to unpick another policy of his predecessor Rafael Correa (2007-2017). Moreno’s confirmation, meanwhile, that he is considering seeking membership of the Pacific Alliance trade bloc points to a potentially radical departure from Correa’s trade and diplomacy strategy.
