Alfredo Palacio Presidente del Ecuador Abril 20, 2005
Alfredo Palacio fue posesionado como presidente de la República, a las 14h10 de hoy, luego que el Congreso destituyera a Lucio Gutiérrez, quien fuera su compañero de fórmula en las elecciones del 2002.
Previamente, a las 11h00, el comandante general de la Policía, general Jorge Poveda, había renunciado irrevocablemente, argumentando que “no puedo seguir prestándome a ser testigo de enfrentamientos entre el pueblo ecuatoriano”, ante la arremetida de las protestas populares que exigían la dimisión de Gutiérrez.
