Just curious about this. In CuencaHighLife they refer to the government as a federal government. (“All funding from the federal government for the project has been provided,” Correa said. “The city will need to find the money if it wants to add more facilities,” he said)
If it is true, I never new that - nor do my neighbors who are Ecuadorians.
I couldn't find the article in the local papers that referrd to that quote.
