Guillermo Lasso assumes the impact of the protests

The Secretary of Public Administration of Ecuador, Iván Correa, had said on Monday that the changes in the cabinet are “necessary” to advance and execute “many things that have been left in the pipeline” in Ecuador.

The official stressed that the National Assembly has rejected the impeachment project of Guillermo Lasso, which means that the majority of the population does not want to change a “democratically elected” government, but he did warn that “citizens expect many things from him.”

Correa left open the chance for Lasso to choose leaders from other parties for some positions, and gave as an example the fact that Maria Sara Jijondirector of the National Public Procurement Service, was the running mate of the leader of the Democratic Left, Xavier Hervas.
