If Correa fires Acosta, which is all CEOs would have done in the same circumstance, would that cause a rift in the Alianz Pais that might subsequently cause the government to collapse?  If so, what would happen to the draft mining laws, the constitution assembly, the negotiations with ARU and CTQ, not to mention our investments in ARU? 

This is turning into one political cesspool.  The best case scenario would be to keep Acosta happy for now and fire him afterwards when the constitution assembly finishes it job, but at what price though? 

Love to hear your views on this situation.
