The Spin

Right narrative

Freedom is on the ballot in resource-rich Ecuador as there are only two routes for voters to choose — free market capitalism under Daniel Noboa or a narco-socialist dictatorship under Correa's surrogate Luisa González. Noboa needs a full presidential term to fight the Ecuadorian deep state and bring significant changes to the country.

Left narrative

After nearly a decade following neoliberal prescriptions, Ecuador now has a fragile state and an impoverished people. It's no wonder that drug trafficking and organized crime have skyrocketed — that's part of the local elites' strategy to control society. Noboa must be voted out of office.
