Under President Noboa’s administration, the homicide rate in Ecuador has decreased, but other crimes such as kidnapping and extortion have increased, leading to a sense of fear among the population. This has resulted in dissatisfaction among citizens, with many feeling that the president has not done enough to address these issues. In the recent election, Noboa faced a strong challenge from González, who promised to reduce crime and improve the economy.
Noboa’s background in business and his heavy-handed approach to reducing crime have both been sources of controversy. He has been criticized for his tactics, such as declaring a state of internal armed conflict and authorizing a police raid on Mexico’s embassy. Despite this, some voters support him for his tough stance on organized crime.
González, on the other hand, has a background in government and was chosen as the presidential candidate by Correa’s party. While she was initially unknown to most voters, she garnered significant support in the election. Results have shown a narrower gap between Noboa and González than initially projected by polls.
Ultimately, the outcome of the election indicates a significant victory for Correa’s party. However, experts believe that Noboa may need to reevaluate his campaign strategy in order to attract more voters in the future. Many citizens, like architecture student Keila Torres, remain skeptical about the ability of any candidate to address the deep-rooted issues of government corruption and crime in Ecuador.
