Ecuador chooses president against backdrop of gang violence

ai generated text

Ecuador is experiencing a surge in violence, with a person killed every two hours and seven kidnappings daily, according to government figures. This increase in violence is largely attributed to Ecuador's strategic location and the high demand for cocaine in major markets. The situation has been ongoing for some time, with some residents feeling that nothing has improved since the violence began. The country is currently facing a political crisis with a fourth president in as many years, raising questions about whether a new leader can turn the situation around or if the current president, Daniel Noboa, deserves more time in office.

    1. Human rights, yes, but what about human rights for good people? We're in a war. Mafias use machine guns, grenades. The militarisation aims to establish peace.

    1. These are not conventional gangs. They are terrorist groups. They are highly organized, structured, armed forces that terrorize complete regions and have had control in the past few years of our nation's prisons.

    1. Daniel Noboa apparently thinks that imitating Trump [who imposed 25% tariffs on Mexico on February 1, before suspending them two days later] strengthens his strongman image.

    1. Security is the biggest problem the government has had, but in a country with huge social inequalities like Ecuador, I believe that among the priorities of the less advantaged sectors are, in addition to security, health and education.

    1. People start thinking 'How's Noboa?' But they immediately ask, 'Do I want to return to Correismo or not?'
