President of Ecuador Rafael Correa said Wednesday that the absence of Hugo Chávez as President of Venezuela would be a "blow" for the region, but he argued that the political process Chávez leads in Latin America should continue.

Correa said that if Chávez "cannot act," it would be a "severe blow to Latin America," according to a statement released by the Ecuadorian Government's electronic newspaper, reported AFP.

However, he said, "We are all necessary, but nobody should be indispensable, and the revolutionary process in our America should continue."

He warned behind closed doors in the midst of the social upheaval occurred during the oil strike in 2002 and 2003. Dissenting Timoteo Zambrano answered back that no other option was available: "The thing is that otherwise, you do not negotiate."
