I do not think that the dominant reason for voting for the President of the Republic, in the second round on October 15, 2023, for Daniel Nobo Azín was “without Correa” vs. lawyer Luisa González, “Correra’s candidate”, considering that Correra’s victory could mean that he first holds power through a third person, lawyer Luisa González, and then takes it over personally, through consultations, amnesties, for a new period and/or for the Constitutional assembly, for a long time.

Rehabilitating its leader Rafael Correa in the elections is one of the goals of Koreanism for 2025.

For more than a decade, Correa controlled power from 2007 to 2017 and sponsored his successor, Lenín Moreno, from 2017 to 2021, who distanced himself from Correa when he felt his relationship involved his subservience. Manipulated electoral processes, imprisonment, suppression and expulsion of opponents, in Venezuela Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro represent more than a quarter of a century in power; and in Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo are already over sixteen years old. Yes, there were Ecuadorians who voted for Daniel Nobo, but I think the dominant motivation was the desire for hope.

Ecuador needs a ruler who does not like confrontation, who does not submit to the conditions of the “leader” or any political force, who conducts dialogue, but this is not to avoid reaching definitions, who does not remain in “peak to peak” .“, but yes timely decisions are made for immediate execution, especially in two main goals: security and sources of work, self-employment and those that promote employment.

Daniel Noboa has the ability to turn hope into proof, without getting into useless conflicts.

As long as the macro-control of organized criminal mafias continues, with “vaccines” to small and medium-sized manufacturers and traders, not forgetting large companies, jobs and the possibility of increasing business will be closed. There must be a radical solution in the decisions and actions of the public authorities and in the sanctioning of officials, prosecutors and judges who have been handed over to these mafias or have gone bankrupt out of fear.

That Noboa won throughout the Sierra with a dominant indigenous and mestizo population does not mean that the structures of nationality and ethnicity were unknown, but that the will to privilege non-confrontation also prevailed in these areas.

On November 15, CNE will hand over credentials to Daniel Noboa

I believe that there are political ideologies, but that there are situations in which facts and goals are above ideologies, which, for example, Guayaquil experienced with mayors León Febres-Cordero and Jaime Nebot, who are always quoted by the current mayor, Aquiles Alvarez. In the 80s, during the presidency of Febres-Corder, when he held it, I wrote the book El Abuse of Power, which received the prize of the municipality of Quito as the best work in 1985, but while I was rector of the University of Guayaquil, in 1994- In 2004, -and he, then Nebot-, cooperated with everything the university required for its equipment and development.

Daniel Noboa has the ability to turn hope into proof without falling into the trap of useless conflict. (OR)
