Ecuador: Private Sector Refuses to Debate Wealth Redistribution

Two weeks of protest over wealth redistribution bills has prompted President Rafael Correa to call for a national debate on the issue. Violent opposition protests and threats of destabilization led the president to temporarily withdraw the inheritance tax and capital gains bills. While pro-government forces begin to organize the debate, the chambers of commerce of Quito and Guayaquil and some businessmen defend their right to accumulate wealth and refuse to debate the issue.
