“Rafael Correa vowed to put Ecuadors poor ahead of foreign debt payments as he was sworn in on Monday, raising a sword given to him by Venezuelas Hugo Chavez in a ceremony attended by members of the growing club of leftist Latin American leaders.

Correa, 43, a charismatic political outsider who won a November runoff election, said he would work for an “economic revolution” in Ecuador that would emphasize the renegotiating of foreign debt, “paying only what we can after attending to the needs of the poor.”"
