Former head of Ecuador called on the current president to call early elections

This is reported by TASS with reference to the social networks of Correa.

“President Lasso, don't be a coward, call an early election.

I did it in 2009 and got the support of my people.

Do you think you can rule by shooting and blood for another three years?

You will destroy the country, you will destroy yourself,” the former head of Ecuador said in a video message.

Earlier, the Ecuadorian parliament announced plans to impeach the country's current president, Guillermo Lasso.

The petition of the deputies is connected with a serious political crisis and mass protests.
