Forecast Ecuador's right-wing opposition will continue street protests ahead of a key congressional vote that could remove presidential term limits . More protests will break out in the coming months as President Rafael Correa attempts to manage a slowing economy and declining public approval. Protests would have to expand significantly and protesters become more united to successfully challenge Correa's re-election initiative. Correa is unlikely to abandon his bid for re-election in 2017 unless the protests directly threaten his ability to rule. For nearly a month, a patchwork group of dissatisfied citizens and political opposition parties have held small, sporadic protests across Ecuador. The demonstrations, which have at times involved thousands of protesters, began after President Rafael Correa proposed new taxes on capital gains and on inheritance.
