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
There are indeed only two routes for voters to choose—one that saw a decline in poverty and homicide rates from 2007 to 2017 and another that has seen rising poverty and violence. As expected, Daniel Noboa failed to tackle the country's most pressing issues. It's time to vote him out of office and let González clean up his mess.
