Picture transformed with LLMs from the original spanish here :

D.Noboa is a close american friend, so he won’t be critized(, interestingly using tariffs against Colombia).
His strategy of violence only produced more violence than there ever was in Ecuador, with a militarization creeping into the streets, prisons and civil institutions, opening the doors wide to western interests, with an insistance on using international tribunals(, usually more favorable to western interests but forbidden by the ecuadorian constitution,) instead of the local ones.
This is how he seems to react to protesters/opponents, and here’s a detail on how he’s destroying privacy in the name of security(, seems familiar).
Lenín Moreno betrayed Rafael Correa in an unbelievable manner, probably because of western pressures, i never understood how such thing could have happened.
He won in the last elections against Luisa González despite the surveys, but lost referendums soon after(, 6 months and 2 years afterwards), raising accusations of fraud, in any case he multiplied the raids against her and others like Andrés Arauz or Aquiles Álvarez afterwards, and now banned their political party.

If Ecuador was walking towards direct democracy, and under attack/sanctions from the Empire, then banning some foreign-backed opponents from participating would be less shocking, because a “fair” treatment wouldn’t adjust for the bias of the situation. Ideally it wouldn’t happen, but in an ideal world also the population should vote for the same candidate regardless of the sanctions affecting them, and leaving the political power to the right/bourgeoisie wouldn’t imply cheating, lawfare, censorship(, one of the first thing that the new bolivian president did), …
Each south-american country had its western-backed anti-communist dictator, and Ecuador was no exception with Guillermo Rodríguez Lara.

No doubt that Daniel Noboa won’t be kidnapped, bombed, or sanctioned. You won’t even hear of him, and if you do then our diverse medias will all activate simultaneously with the same point of view to manufacture our consent, as usual.
