Quick Summary

Lenín Moreno served as the president of Ecuador from 2017 to 2021. He was elected with the support of his predecessor, Rafael Correa, but subsequently reversed some of Correa's policies. Moreno pushed for a referendum that limited presidents to two terms, preventing Correa from running again. During his presidency, Ecuador revoked the political asylum granted to Julian Assange and faced significant economic challenges, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to public spending cuts and debt restructuring. The current president of Ecuador is Daniel Noboa.1234
