Brothers might battle for presidency in Ecuador
http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/07/world/americas/ecuador-president-brothers/index.htmlQuito, Ecuador (CNN) -- Voters in Ecuador might have a chance to weigh in on a high-profile case of sibling rivalry.
Fabricio Correa, 52, filed paperwork to register a new political party Wednesday. His aim, he said, is to defeat his younger brother, incumbent President Rafael Correa, in elections next year.
"There is no legal security. There is too much corruption. Today, drugs are rampant. Crime has doubled. There is no investment. There are no jobs. The number of poor people has increased 50%," Fabricio Correa told CNN en Español on Wednesday.
Ecuadorian government officials declined to comment on those accusations.
