OAS SECRETARY GENERAL STRESSES NORMAL, CALM ENVIRONMENT
OF REFERENDUM IN ECUADOR
April 16, 2007
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, noted the normal democratic climate in which the electoral process took place in Ecuador yesterday, Sunday April 15, with the massive and orderly participation of the Ecuadorian people.
Insulza highlighted the calm atmosphere and free participation of voters, who went to the polls and voted in favor of installing a Constituent Assembly. He emphasized the civic spirit that was reaffirmed during yesterday’s referendum, which determined clearly and conclusively the result of the proposal put forward by the government of President Rafael Correa.
Secretary General Insulza said that from today forward, Ecuador begins a very important chapter of its political and institutional life, adding that by fully exercising their political rights—particularly those that guarantee the right to vote or run for office—Ecuadorians will be able to settle the fundamental issues that will lead the country to define a new constitutional framework. As President Correa has stated, “conflicts are resolved through democracy, within an institutional framework, by way of the ballot box.”
For that reason, the Secretary General trusts that all actors in Ecuador will know to conduct themselves, in this new and important phase, in accordance with the principles of transparency, respect, tolerance and legality that constitute the pillars of any democratic system.
Insulza reiterated the support and solidarity of the inter-American community with Ecuador’s democratic institutions and its people at this important moment in the country’s democratic experience.
