一 | CARACAS, Venezuela -- Frightened by unprecedented violence on the streets and within prisons, Ecuadorians have a universal demand for the president they will choose Sunday — safety.The runoff election in the South American country pits an heir to a banana empire, Daniel Noboa, and an attorney, Luisa González. Both have limited governing experience and will undoubtedly have their work cut out.The election comes as more Ecuadorians become victims of drug-related violence that erupted roughly three years ago and intensified in August, when a presidential candidate was assassinated in broad daylight. People continuously watch their backs and limit how often they leave home. The uneasiness even pushed Noboa to add a bulletproof vest to his daily outfit.Whoever wins with a simple majority of votes will govern for only 15 months, until May 2025, which is what remains of the presidency of Guillermo Lasso. He cut his term short when he dissolved the country’s National Assembly in May as lawmakers carried out impeachment proceedings against him over alleged improprieties in a contract by a state-owned company.Lasso, a conservative former banker, clashed constantly with lawmakers after his election in 2021 and decided not to run in the special election. Under Lasso's watch, violent deaths soared, reaching 4,600 in 2022, the country’s highest in history and double the total in 2021. The National Police tallied 3,568 violent deaths in the first half of 2023.“Security affects us all, and whether poor or rich, no one is safe from criminals anymore,” housewife Ximena Flores said ahead of the runoff election. “Do you think that a new president will be able to do something in such a short time? I think not. It will be a new disappointment for everyone.”The spike in violence is tied to cocaine trafficking. Mexican, Colombian and Balkan cartels have set roots in Ecuador and operate with assistance from local criminal gangs.Voting is mandatory in Ecuador for people ages 18 through 64. Those who don’t comply face a fine of about $45. Polls were to close in late afternoon, and results were expected Sunday evening.Noboa and González, both of whom have served short stints as lawmakers, advanced to the runoff by finishing ahead of six other candidates in the election’s first round Aug. 22.Noboa, 35, is an heir to a fortune built on Ecuador’s main crop, bananas. His political career began in 2021, when he won a seat in the National Assembly and chaired its Economic Development Commission. He opened an event organizing company when he was 18 and then joined his father’s Noboa Corp., where he held management positions in the shipping, logistics and commercial areas.González, 45, held various government jobs during the decade-long presidency of Rafael Correa, her mentor, and was a lawmaker until May. She was unknown to most voters until Correa’s party picked her as its presidential candidate. At the start of the campaign, she said Correa would be her adviser, but she has recently tried to distance herself a bit in an effort to court voters who oppose the former president.___Associated Press writer Gonzalo Solano in Quito, Ecuador, contributed to this report.。 VGN 蜻蜓 F1 V2 Pro 无线鼠标支持三模连接,56g 轻量化设计,配环诺机械微动 + PAW 3395 Extreme 传感器。官方定价 179 元,今日京东仅需 89 元即可入手:先领 9 折北京机器人消费券:点此领券(支持全国领用)再领 200-20 元京东外设券:点此领券下方两款各加购物车 1 件,一起结算即可。鼠标实付 94 元左右,晒单返 500 京豆(价值 5 元),折合仅需 89 元刚需好价:京东 VGN 蜻蜓 F1 V2 Pro 无线鼠标轻量化 白粉 2 色可选加购物车 1 件直达链接京东凑单品 下单后可立即退款加购物车 1 件直达链接参数对比(本次大促的是 F1 V2 Pro 款):京东 VGN 蜻蜓 F1 V2 Pro 无线鼠标轻量化 白粉 2 色可选多重优惠 89 元直达链接广告声明:文内含有的对外跳转链接(包括不限于超链接、二维码、口令等形式),用于传递更多信息,节省甄选时间,结果仅供参考,包含外链的文章均包含本声明。
