Havana, Cuba.- This Sunday, April 13, ended with happy news: in the second round of the presidential elections in the fraternal Ecuador, the current president obtained a forceful victory On the opponent Luisa González, of the Correísta Citizen Revolution (RC) movement.
Daniel Noboa Azín took more than one million votes on his leftist opponent. This represents a difference of more than 11 percentage points. Despite the clear defeat suffered nationwide, the press reported that the candidacy of the female Correísta won in five of the 24 provinces of the country. Despite all of the above, Mrs. González has chosen to challenge the result announced by the National Electoral Council (CNE). “Ecuador is living a dictatorship and the most grotesque fraud in its history,” said Lady.
Doña Luisa mentions, among the elements of the alleged “pucherazo”, the following: the fact of not being able to have voted the Ecuadorians residing in Venezuela; the feastless relocation of 18 electoral enclosures; the acceptance of non -valid electoral minutes; the concession of “bonds” of money to certain categories of voters by the government of Noboa just before the elections; and the statement of the state of emergency in seven provinces of the country.
Those arguments of the RC candidate do not resist the most brief analysis. A few hours before the elections, Swissinfo He informed: “About 10,000 Ecuadorians in Venezuela will be unable to vote.” According to this website, the above was due to “delays by the Venezuelan government to grant the permits for the entry of the officials who had to receive the votes.” And that decision was made by the Ecuadorian CNE “after exhausting all instances and alternatives.”
I guess Luisa González knew that those compatriots of his (that by living in Venezuela they know closely the “wonders” of the “socialism of the 21st century”) were willing to vote in mass against her. And I suspect that the agents of said lady managed before her Chavista friends who, invoking the rupture of diplomatic relations between the two countries, prevented the vote in the homeland of the Liberator.
The foregoing means that the Correists point out, as a vital element of the alleged “fraud”, the fact that they stop voting “about 10,000 citizens” (and this by decision of their Chavista friends and – the most likely – at the request of the Correís themselves!). And record that we are talking about a number of voters who, compared to 13.7 million registered, represents only 0.07 % of the total!
On the other hand, the relocated electoral enclosures, according to the CNE, were not 18 (as the perdeker candidate), but 24. They, among the existing 4,349, represent only 0.55 % of the total! In addition, these relocations have been due to the torrential rains experienced in coastal provinces, which have turned the streets into true rivers and caused multiple effects.
With regard to the incorrect records, it is worth noting that the CNE accepted the reexamal of 3,865 of them, which represent 1,275,450 votes. Taking into account the total of the computed votes, so that the result of the choice changes would be necessary that, in the electoral enclosures covered by those minutes, Luisa González received … More than 92 % of the votes cast!
In the matter of bonds, it is clear that this journalist cannot agree with the granting of these financial aid. Using the state resources to obtain thanks that will benefit the re -election of the acting mandamás constitutes a populist measure of the worst species. Here I think it is only worth commenting that, tit for tat… own Rafael Correa In his time, or more recently his Argentine Kirchner friends, they have widely used that spurious medium to get electoral support. But of course that can be classified as an undue electoral practice; Never as an element of an alleged “fraud.”
Finally, the statement of the state of emergency in seven provinces (of the 24 that exist in the country) is explained to be well – I think – due to the exceptional situation that exists in Ecuador due to generalized criminal violence. This is corroborated by existing statistics and the most recent information; The issue constituted one of the most debated during the electoral campaign, and is unfair and arbitrary to instill President Noboa for taking measures before that reality.
The lack of foundation of which González’s complaint suffers is observed not only in the rain of congratulations to Noboa for his unspeakable victory. Until the same reaction of the partners and accomplices of RC so suggests. In Cuba, for example, the official press, always so unconditional in their support for everything that smells “socialism of the 21st century”, has been restrained in this matter.
By rare exception, the head of the news appeared onset in Cubadebatefor example, it would not be despised either by the most objective, impartial and serious organ of the international press. “Daniel Noboa wins the presidency; Luisa González does not recognize the results.” Those are the phrases that lead the information provided in this regard by the connoted organ of the Castrocommunist press.
But, well, we already know what “egg dog, even if they burn the snout.” In other information (this dated Monday), the aforementioned propaganda organ echoes the complaint made by an entity called “Social Celac” (whatever that means). According to the new headline, the “Signals of fraud in Ecuador’s elections would be ‘multiple and alarming’”.
I emphasize that the members of the Correís, at least onset, have preferred to resort to the virtual anonymity. It circulates in the networks, for example, a declaration of a ghostician International Antifascist Alliance. To that document (which echoes the unfounded complaints of Mrs. González and does not take the names of the supposed signatories at the bottom) was that the Chavista television station assumed Telesur to express her solidarity with the defeated candidate. Although it should be clarified that, a few hours ago, Nicolás Maduro (yes, nothing less than Maduro!) He called what happened in Ecuador of “horrible fraud.”
Meanwhile, it is no more to point out the tremendous differences that are observed between this supposed “rude fraud” of lies and the truth that perpetrated the Castrohavista regime of Venezuela months ago. The transparency now shows the Ecuadorian electoral body, which is independent and impartial, contrasts diametrally with the opacity of its Venezuelan counterpart, subject to the dictates of Nicolás Maduro.
Just a few hours of closed the polls, the Ecuadorian CNE-Web site exhibits the original minutes, classified by provinces, constituencies, cantons, parishes, areas and joints. In Venezuela, months after the elections!, It is still expected by the official publication of the homologous documents (which, supposedly, would serve to prove Maduro’s victory). Yes it is published, but in an opposition-Web site, the vast majority of the minutes, and they certify the overwhelming defeat suffered by the dictator.
Writing from Quito for an organ as little suspicious of anti -leftism as The countryCollega Federico Rivas Molina offers a devastating fact: “In Ecuador, there are half a million Venezuelans who take care of the hosts how bad that works that works.” It is likely that there is crux of Noboa’s great victory. If that were the case, then I believe that all the friends of freedom, in Ecuador and throughout the world, we should repeat the central stanza of the anthem of Venezuela: Glory to the brave people!
