Ecuadorian voters express deep distrust of political establishment
Ecuadorian citizens are expressing significant distrust toward the political establishment ahead of the upcoming elections on November 29. This widespread dissatisfaction stems from years of corruption, impunity, and perceived favoritism toward economic power groups.
Electors have voiced frustration with the lack of political renewal, noting the frequent appearance of the same political dynasties and figures moving between various legislative and executive roles. This perceived stagnation is linked to ongoing national crises, including organized crime, insecurity, unemployment, and deficiencies in basic services such as health and education.
