Subject: The Trumble Travels - Ecuador IV - National Assembly
Ecuador is having elections at the end of September to elect representatives to an assembly where the Ecuadorian constitution will be rewritten (or something along those lines). Signs advertising on behalf of various candidates are plentiful. According to the Latin American News Agency article at this link http://www.plenglish.com/article.asp?ID=%7B981FAAFE-F339-40C9-AB24-52477825B386%7D)&language=EN more than 600 people appear on the national ballot (and more are on provincial ballots.
Here is a sampling of some of the signs.
One evening while we were out there were folks handing out posters and flags for Dale Patria. Below is one of those flags. I do not know if Dale Patria is a great guy or a crook. He does seem to be well funded.
