QUITO, Ecuador — All ballots from Ecuador’s national referendum have been counted and voters approved all 10 of President Rafael Correa’s proposals to shake up the country’s institutions, electoral officials said Thursday.
One proposals would modify the constitution to change oversight of the court system, and another would bar owners of financial or media institutions from having other business interests. Congress would have to act on other issues on the referendum, such as banning casinos and bullfighting and regulating the content of newspapers and broadcasters.
Correa has said the reforms will bolster democracy. Critics of the proposals accused him of a power grab.
