The presidential election in Ecuador has advanced to a runoff, with incumbent conservative president Daniel Noboa competing against leftist candidate Luisa González. The first round of voting saw a high turnout, but Noboa expressed skepticism regarding the results. A major issue dominating the campaign is the escalating violence linked to drug trafficking. Ecuador has emerged as a significant hub in the global cocaine trade, leading to daily threats, violence, and even murder affecting many citizens.
In response to the growing threat from drug cartels, President Noboa has increased military involvement in efforts to combat narcotics-related crime. In contrast, González has advocated for greater social justice, expansion of the welfare state, and stricter measures against corruption.
Alongside the election, the new government is aiming for economic growth by proposing a reform of labor laws. This plan would shift from a daily maximum working hour system to a weekly working hour framework, allowing employees to work longer hours on some days in exchange for shorter hours on others, provided they do not exceed the weekly limit. Supporters argue that this could improve work-life balance, but critics warn it may compromise worker protections and lead to unintentional overwork.
In lighter news, a Chinese court is set to auction off crocodiles, drawing attention for its unusual subject matter.
