Ecuadorians are used to listening to illusory promises, they are used to being satisfied with photos of politicians shaking hands, they are used to hearing unrealizable ideas or projects that will never get us out of the crisis in which we live. Politics has become mercy, and that’s why we ask less and less from the government every day. While the country’s security plans are mentioned and we see photos and videos of war tanks, helicopters and massive military power on the news every day, by January 16, 2023, 4,603 violent deaths were recorded, which meant a rate of 25 cases per 100,000 population.

The growth is exponential, since in 2021 the official rate was 13.7 deaths, i.e. in one year the increase was 82.5 percent.

While we hear that the country is investing in production processes and see several photos of executives walking through new projects, the IMF (International Monetary Fund) predicts that Ecuador will grow 0.1% less than its last projection in December 2022. While the country is watching In the news that the Government unites with the powers of the state, through agreements, through plans, projects, dialogue tables, technical tables, and even generates reports on agreements, the country’s risk increased by 94 points in one day and reached 1,859 points on March 1, 2023. The highest value from October 13, 2022.

From the ministries of the executive authorities, they state an increase in the production balance, along with an increase in the raw materials that are exported, emphasizing the increase in sales. But why did sales increase? There are two elements that are not analyzed, is it just because the manufacturing sector has been reactivated? Well, one of the reasons is that stocks from previous years have built up and more and more Ecuadorians are moving out of the country again. That is why it is important to think about the remittances that Ecuadorians send, because their income has become the second most important source for maintaining dollarization. For example, if we talk about the agricultural sector that has a balance of $4,000 million, remittances have $4,800 million.

The people of the country no longer care in the slightest about the reins that govern their future.

This, just to give some examples of statistics that reveal the harsh political, social and economic reality of Ecuador, where the neglect of politicians has turned the Ecuadorian people into mere exporters of state governance. The people of the country no longer care in the slightest about the reins that govern their future. This inaction of the central part of the state has allowed the political class to turn Ecuador into their own private finances, where laws, regulations and every aspect that governs the state is tailored to suit.

An ideological change is essential, supported on a technical axis that allows us to no longer increase the external debt, to increase the GDP of the country, based on the strategy of productivity and modernization. (OR)
