Ecuadorian president Correa sworn in second term

 Some 10 out of the 12 presidents from the Union of South American Nations attended the ceremony. Peruvian President Alan Garcia did not attend due to a failure in his plane and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe did not attend since both countries severed ties in March 2008.

    During the ceremony, Correa promised to strength his "citizen revolution" and added that it is "irreversible and nothing neither nobody will stop it."

    Correa said that the citizens revolution is the one where the people are the "ones giving orders, the owners of our countries, the owners of our democracies."

    Correa also said that he will not give up on achieving a new country despite the stereotypes that the power groups want to establish.

    Correa promised to fight for a country with equity, equality on opportunities, without racism, free of illiteracy, a country with roads to transport equity and not regrets.

Correa won the presidential elections on April 26, this year, becoming the first Ecuadorian president being reelected in 30 years; Kazinform cites Xinhua. See www.xinhuanet.com for full version.
