In December, he defaulted on $3.2 billion in foreign bonds, close to a third of the country's foreign debt, citing evidence that they were "illegal" and "illegitimate." "We're living a process of change that we hadn't seen before," said Fernando Cabrera, 55, a financial analyst, at Correa's victory rally in Quito. "He is breaking down archaic structures set up by the economic upper class...
