Safety is the main issue in the presidency election because the country is full of violence

“The whole town feels like it is in the pandemic, without being locked, without enjoying and enjoying our lives.”

That’s how “Jorge” – not his real name – the city of southern Ecuador is the Guayaquil district.

His father, Marcos Elías León Maruri, was kidnapped there Los Tigueristeres gang.

Ecuador dies for two hours of a person and seven every day, according to government figures.

Therefore, safety is the first round of the presidential election after the presidency elections on Sunday, in which the Nomination 15 candidates Daniel has been challenged.

The one who wins will be responsible for restoring security to the country, the safest among the most dangerous in the region.

The rise in violence is in the location of Ecuador’s location and cocaine application, in the most important markets like the United Kingdom and Europe.

Many of Colombia and Peru-raised Coca leaves leaves through the ports of Ecuador through the ports of Coca, through the ports of Ecuador, and the powerful gang has won to control that win.

Many of these gangs also make the kidnapping of the rescue.

Mr. Maruri was a victim.

Shortly after Jorge received a text. Read: “I have your father. How much will you pay your family life?”

The next morning he received the video that showed his father who was tied with his father.

The vault initially asked $ 100,000 (£ 80,000).

Jorge did not and began to negotiate: “They wanted $ 30,000 or cut another finger.”

Jorge made $ 5,000 and an effort to offer TV, playstation and car.

As the captions agreed to a hand control, the police called him. He found the body resembling his father.

“My father’s body left his finger with his hand in the bottle associated with his hand – as a mockery.”

Since then, Jorge’s life has clarified. He rarely let his house, now plastered with CCTV cameras, had monitors.

His wife and daughters have escaped to the country. No more goes to work, because the gang knows the location.

The crack of the heavy-handed government

The current government of the President Daniel Noboba responded to the rise in violence by militarizing streets, giving higher capacities to use forces and attack buildings, and building new safety new prisons.

Jorge supports these measures, but criticizes the justice system.

“The government is being hard against corruption and is supplied by the police a lot. But no use is free of the justice system. They care more about our rights.”

Some, Jorge, like the measures of NOBE back, allow others to abuse human rights – the key tension in this election.

The main police Cristian Avals of the police, when they struck violence in the city of Durán, was accused of kidnapping and murdering a man kidnapped by a man who was kidnapped by the rejoiced security forces.

“Human rights, yes, but what happens for human rights, we are in a war. We use machine guns, grenades. They want to establish peace,” he said.

Surveys still have no nobs as the first runner, but in recent months he has lost some land on Luisa González to the left movement of the left citizens.

On the campaign career, González has promised the training of human rights to the security forces. Although he also noted support for militarization and harder the police, he committed 20,000 new officers.

One case is, in particular, many Ecuadorano has been afraid of the discrimination of the strength of security forces.

Last year, four teenagers, the military was caught on a supposed robbery when returning to play football.

They later found their smoothed bodies.

Sixteen soldiers arrested and loaded the boys ‘forced disappearance’ and killing.

They deny that, saying they let the boys go.

Boys’ two bedrooms – Ismael and Josué Arroyo – it’s typical of many teenagers: Widespread with clothes and football posters.

Father, Luis, his football boots includes raw sadness. I can’t believe her son is not full again.

“Ishmael wanted to fulfill his dream professional footballer. A dream that they took away those soldiers,” he cries.

Ishmael and Josué’s left identification were your finger and foot.

Luis’s anger and soldiers are angry.

“It’s not four dogs caught and executed. They were removed from four children. Then they went home to dinner.”

“We want justice,” he added. “Children continue to take the military and the government does nothing.”

Anger case can confuse people to try to punish nobo president in the Bota box.

Luisa González, a woman with hope to defeat Noboa has asked for justice and government resignations over the death of boys.

Lose dilemma loss

Some voters argue that nobody policies are not working.

Durán’s public transport worker, who did not want to name, say that gangs call them money in maximum security prisons.

Gang Members describe the “Vacunas” (Spanish “(terms used to refer to daily extortion fees).

“There are already failed colleagues. I haven’t worked almost since I killed me,” he told me.

Other criticisms make a bad economy, young people with a particularly high youth unemployment harms the gang recruitment.

Slow drought last year last year’s drought worsened throughout the country, 80% of electricity based on hydrore, and will last 14 hours.

One of the affected was Christian Guerrero.

The 40-year-old, who lives in a poorer neighborhood Guayaquil, said that constant breakdown broke his refrigerator and TV.

Okay is “plans” that there is no further consequence.

The election comes after Nobo President, through an emergency decree.

Carlos and Laura Ipanea also is about a year, since Carlos Javier Vega, since he died.

When he heard the guns when he heard the guns, instead of stopping, instead of stopping the military dead.

His parents feel lost lost dilemma.

They live on a street street, a house surrounded by metal bar, terrified of the panic of violence.

“The crime continues, the robbers follow, the kidnapping continues, the resorts continue,” explained Laurak.

But now some are afraid.

“I don’t want other people to have pain we have,” Laurak said through tears.

For many voters, this election is worse than healing the problem.
