Ecuador Voters Reject U.S. Military Bases in Referendum

Ecuadorian voters have rejected the return of U.S. military bases to the country. The decision came during a national referendum held on Sunday. The ballot also included two other key measures. Voters turned down a proposal to cut funding for political parties. They also rejected a separate measure to rewrite the nation's constitution. All three proposals failed to gain public support. The outcome reflects the voters' stance on these significant national issues.
