Ecuador: Correa starts campaign against 'traitor' Moreno

Ecuador's ex-president Rafael Correa on Saturday kicked off his battle for the support of the ruling party faithful, against President Lenin Moreno.

Correa, who preceded Moreno in office, retired to his wife's native Belgium only to return initially in late November to battle Moreno for control of the PAIS party.

Supporters of Correa, a leftist economist by training, say he plans to remain in the country at least until the February 4 referendum, in which Moreno wants a "yes" vote that would, among other questions, restore term limits to prevent presidents from running indefinitely.

"No, No, absolutely NO," Correa chanted to supporters who turned out to rally in a Guayaquil area park.
