Otto Arosemen was not president right after Velasco. It was his cousin Carlos Julio Arosemena Monroy.

Obvious plagarism

The article currently starts with this paragraph:

The instability began immediately. Ponce was so angry over Velasco's vicious campaign attacks on his government that he resigned on his last day in office rather than preside over the inauguration of his successor. During his campaign, "the National Personification" had promised government support to the masses of urban poor, many of whom had recently migrated to Guayaquil and other major cities in search of a decent job and a place to live. Velasco's populism continued into his inaugural address, when he renounced the hated 1942 Rio Protocol. He thus came to power with the adoration of the masses, but he saddled himself with expensive commitments to the poor at a time when deficits in the state coffers were approaching a critical level

Rarely have I seen on Wikipedia such a blatant lifting of material from another source. Un school 06:54, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious reference

The statement "The brief appearance of a guerrilla movement in the coastal jungle and a rash of small-scale terrorist incidents (many of which later were found to have been staged by right-wing provocateurs)" (italics added) has no backing reference. Is there any evidence of "right-wing provocateurs" or is this the author's wishful thinking and/or political inclinations showing?
