Apologies for all the google translations but I'm trying to cover a lot of ground here. I think it's better to get a rough idea of what's going on in the broader sense than to focus too closely on any individual aspect. I'm hoping we get a complete English translation soon (not to mention a proper index) because it's way too big a task for me.

Here's Correa's initial reaction as reported by El Comercio:

The President said yesterday that the draft Constitution exist "barbarities" that must be corrected. In Montecristi admits that there are errors, at least in the final editing of the text.

Editorial Policy

The disenchantment with at least certain parts of the constitutional project being developed in Montecristi, soon came to the president Rafael Correa.

Yesterday, Correa spoke in a radio interview of "atrocities" committed by the assembly and assured that it is necessary to make corrections, although the legal time to do it concluded.

I am against some articles (the project). They have put some barbarities that must be rectified.
The Representative said yesterday in statements to the Latin American associations education Radio (ALER): "I am against some articles (approved by the Constituent), have put some barbarities that must be rectified." However, he emphasized, "there are thousands of reasons why we must vote for it."

This journal was informed that on Monday night, he angrily complained by telephone to the chairman of the Assembly, Fernando Cordero, assembly and others who were at the University Eloy Alfaro. According to information, Correa was met with some of his Cabinet ministers who made negative comments about some texts.

The decision, according to official sources, was taken after reviewing the comments that the ministries made to the articles in their respective areas.

That initiative, the spokesmen explained, was driven by choice from different ministries. "There are some flaws as the absence of legal concepts that they must be corrected," said an adviser to the regime, who explained that the draft Constitution is perfectible even a few days before the referendum on September 28.

We disagree with those leaders who call plutocracy on the left.

The version on the anger of the Head of State was corroborated in some form by Assemblyman of officialdom Fernando Burbano, a member of the Steering Committee. He said that at a meeting of that Committee, is receptivity comments by the chairmen of the various constituent tables, "because he had some concerns about inconsistencies in the texts adopted.

According Burbano, these problems were presented perhaps because the Drafting Committee did not revise the texts reconsidered late and only corrected the earlier texts (rated by Friday).

The Assemblyman admitted that mistakes are likely to correct them and that the Commission can do.

This procedure, however, is challenged by the opposition, since the regulations can not be made modifications to the texts that have already been approved.

One theme that has happened in the clean and contained in the final text of the Constitution, but that is not the one finally approved the House, refers to one of the powers of the new National Assembly (Congress) in the field control.

That error was denounced by Assemblyman Luis Hernandez, the RED. The text adopted by the Assembly said: "To proceed with the censure and dismissal (of public officials subject to impeachment) requires the votes of an absolute majority of the members of the National Assembly, with the exception of ministers of state , Members of the staff and members of the Electoral National Council of the Judiciary, which will require two thirds ...".

Instead, the constitutional document that has been made public states: "Censorship will produce the immediate dismissal of the server or server (public), except for the ministers of state, whose tenure shall decide the President of the Republic ".

The Assemblyman Burbano admitted that this is one of the most visible and that mistakes will be corrected. "I do not know if it was wrong of the Editorial Committee or the Secretariat, which did not send texts to date." That would at the meeting on Thursday when the House meets to ratify all articles.
