Ecuador chooses president against the backdrop of gang violence


The current government under President Daniel Novore responded to the surge in violence by militarizing the streets, increasing the power to use force and raid buildings on police, and building new maximum security prisons.

Jorge supports these measures, but criticizes the judicial system.

“The government is working hard on corruption and is very equipped with the police. But when the judicial system sets them freely, they care more about things than our rights.”

Like Jorge, and Novore’s measures, some feel that human rights violations are possible. This is a critical tension in this election.

I put this from the Federal Police to Major Christian Aldaz and detained a man accused of lure and murder during a violent attack in the city of Duran, so I placed it from the Federal Police.

“Yes, but yes, but what about the human rights of good people? We are at war. The Mafias use machine guns, hand-rena bullets. Militarization aims to establish peace.” He says.

The poll still has Novore as a frontrunner, but he has lost some position in recent months to his main rival, Left-wing civil revolutionary movement Luisa Gonzalez.

On the campaign trail, Gonzalez has pledged human rights training for security forces, but she has also expressed her support for militarization and strict police force, including pledging 20,000 new officers.

In particular, there is one case in which many Ecuadorians have feared indiscriminate use of force by security forces.

Last year, four teenagers were seized by the military on suspicion of theft when they returned after playing football.

Their cutting, burning bodies were later discovered.

Sixteen soldiers have been detained and charged with a juvenile “forced loss of loss” and are under investigation for murder.

They deny this and say they eventually let the boys go.
