Ecuadorians Reject Foreign Military Bases, Institutional Reforms

Ecuadorians Reject Foreign Military Bases, Institutional Reforms

Ecuadorians had two big decisions to make on Sunday.

First, they were asked if other countries could set up military bases in their country.

Most people said 'no' because they want to keep their country independent and handle their own problems.

Second, they were asked if they wanted a special group to write a whole new rulebook for the country.

Most people said 'no' to this too, suggesting they are happy with the current rules.

The President thought the bases would help fight crime, but many people disagreed and he accepted their decision.
