Daniel Noboa has been sworn in as Ecuador's youngest-ever president amidst allegations of electoral fraud from his opponent, Luisa Gonzalez. Noboa aims to fight drug-related violence and revive the economy, marking crime reduction as a primary goal. His approach includes militarized crackdowns and greater security measures at key infrastructures. This strategy has drawn comparisons to El Salvador’s controversial anti-gang policies. As his administration begins, Noboa also looks to strengthen Ecuador’s ties with international partners, including the U.S. and Israel.
Noboa pledged to make a sharp reduction in violent crime a cornerstone of his administration, declaring that progressive reduction of homicides will be a non-negotiable goal.
Ecuador, once considered one of the more stable countries in the region, has faced a sharp rise in violence, with drug cartels exploiting porous borders and weak institutions.
