SUN 05OCT25 (11:03) #ParoDay14 #Quito #Ecuador Pres Noboa: "No one can come and take by force the capital of all Ecuadorians.

To those who choose violence, the law awaits them. To those who act like criminals, they will be treated as criminals.

We continue doing what is our duty: we will be in Pastaza tomorrow, together with those who truly build the country, helping those who need it most to produce more and get ahead." - (1/2)

"While some want to stop Ecuador, we propel it forward.

We will reduce the VAT to 8% during the holidays of October 9, and November 2 and 3, because this country is not going to grind to a halt because of a few who lost the business of smuggling and illegal mining.

To boost the local economy, on November 14 we will pay the thirteenth salary to public employees,

so families will have more money during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We invite the private sector to join this initiative." - (2/2)

 ‘In Memoriam: Gerard Tretton- 

In 2010, Gerard Tretton created Ecuador Expats. Almost sixteen years later, the group has grown to more than 40,000 members. I am proud to say I was one of the very first people he invited to join. I had known Gerard since at least 2005, when we were both part of a Yahoo group about moving to and living in Ecuador. That Yahoo group was tightly controlled, and eventually the founder kicked us both out, first me and then him. That was in late 2009. Gerard, being Gerard, would not be stopped. He recognized the new technology of Facebook, saw a better way to connect with people, and built it. That is the origin story of Ecuador Expats.

For nearly a decade, Gerard ran this group with persistence, humor, and resilience. When the time came to step back, he brought in David Sasaki as administrator. Soon after, both Elizabeth Drummond and I were invited to join the admin team, continuing the work Gerard had begun. Gerard became our administrator emeritus, watching the community grow on the foundation he had laid.

Gerard was a man who met life’s challenges head on and never let obstacles stop him. He built something lasting that has connected tens of thousands of people who came here seeking to make Ecuador their home. Today we honor his vision, his perseverance, and his friendship. May his memory be a blessing.

08JUL25 🛟 'Ecuador's Pres Noboa plans referendum to reopen U.S. military base in Manta-

 08JUL25 🛟 'Ecuador's Noboa plans referendum to reopen U.S. military base in Manta-

"Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa said a national referendum will be held by the end of 2025 to decide whether to allow the return of a U.S. military base in the coastal city of Manta.

"The installation of foreign military bases is one of my government's priorities to strengthen international cooperation on security," Noboa told the Corriere della Sera newspaper during a recent tour of Europe.

He added that support could also come from European nations to help Ecuador combat transnational organized crime.

Ecuador's National Assembly approved on June 3 a partial constitutional amendment to lift the country's long-standing ban on foreign military bases. The current constitution declares Ecuador a "territory of peace" and prohibits such installations.

The amendment still requires approval from the Constitutional Court and a national referendum before it can take effect....."

"....."The return of the United States to Manta and other locations is a positive step for our cooperation against drug trafficking in the Pacific," said Evan Ellis, a professor at the U.S. Army War College. He said the move has led to "misunderstandings in the press and has been distorted by the left."

Ana María Cordero, former anti-corruption minister under President Guillermo Lasso, said the United States would likely aim to install a radar platform at the Manta base to track drug trafficking.

Opposition lawmakers in Ecuador — particularly from the Citizen Revolution movement founded by former President Rafael Correa — have opposed reopening the base, arguing it would represent a major loss of national control and a setback to Ecuador's status as a "territory of peace."

They argue that security cooperation should not require foreign military bases on Ecuadorian soil, but should instead rely on specific agreements for technical or intelligence support.

The port of Manta sits 25 nautical miles from an international trafficking route and about 24 hours by sea from the Panama Canal — a strategic point along drug smuggling routes to Central and North America....." -

25JUN25 "Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa announced this Thursday the capture of Adolfo Macías Villamar, alias "Fito ," considered the leader of the Los Choneros organized crime group.

"For those who opposed and doubted the need for the Solidarity and Intelligence laws : thanks to those laws, Fito was captured today and is in the hands of the Security Bloc," the president posted on the social network X.

"We have done our part to proceed with Fito's extradition to the United States , and we await your response. Have a good afternoon, Ecuador," Noboa added.

The criminal leader had been on the run for over a year and a half , after escaping from the Guayaquil Regional Prison and hiding his tracks while the country was engulfed in a spiral of violence, culminating in the brief takeover of a television station.

'Fito,' who was serving a 34-year sentence for organized crime, drug trafficking, and murder , escaped on January 7, 2024, as he was about to be transferred to La Roca, a maximum-security prison located on the outskirts of the port city. Developing news"

THOUGHT of THE DAY! "As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression... There is a twilight when everything
 remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such a twilight that we must be most aware of change in the air -- however slight -- lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness." -
- William O. Douglas, US Supreme Court Justice from 1939-1975

02MAY25 "After days of official silence and the death of eight Achuar children,

 02MAY25 "After days of official silence and the death of eight Achuar children, the Minister of Health, Edgar Lama, will travel this Saturday, May 3 to Huasaga Parish. But his presence does not respond to an initiative of his own: his departure was ordered directly by President Daniel Noboa, who is in the middle of an international tour of Europe and Asia Minor. Lama leads a procession of 15 people, among them several Galenos, who will try to establish the causes of deaths that have bereaved to this indigenous community of Morona Santiago.

So far, neither the Ministry of Health nor any authority has been able to clearly identify the disease that is taking lives in this remote part of the country. The late reaction from the State has sparked outrage among the local population. Citizens and community leaders criticize the Government acting only out of pressure and not out of conviction or real commitment to public health in historically forgotten territories.

The minister will leave from Guayaquil to Macas, where he will meet with another entourage coming from Quito. Together, they'll head to Huasaga, but with more questions than answers. "If the president hadn't given the order, nobody would be coming," lamented a local leader. Communities expect urgent answers, but above all, concrete action.

The presence should serve in territory to verify the reality of the Amazonia and manage solutions in this new and complete government and not to be forgotten the death of innocent children and the government response is real and committed. This must also change the health authorities in the zonal and in the entire province of Morona Santiago, as many of them obey the last governments on shift who did little to improve the health system in the Amazon...." -

Interior Minister Reimberg said that an elite team will remain at the hospital collecting information that will lead to determining the origin and objective of the threats. "We are doing our second intervention in a hospital. We have come because we have heard of certain threats to the staff and managers who work in the hospital," Reimberg told the media in Quito.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Defense, Gian Carlo Loffredo, added that there have been threats against the lives, follow-ups and even damage to property of hospital officials. Loffredo even mentioned that organized crime groups would allegedly be operating inside of the public health system." - This is the info: https://ow.ly/t99a50VF16J
