The member countries of ALBA-TCP expressed the strongest denunciation. Before the peoples of the world and the international community about the seriousness of what happened in the electoral process in Ecuador, Prensa Latina reports.
The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP). Said in a statement that after the runoff to elect the Ecuadorian president on April 13. It is following the development of events with “attention and great concern.”
The Latin American and Caribbean integration bloc referred. In this regard, to “the numerous irregularities that affected the result of the elections in Ecuador. Also the consequent accusations of fraud in that process, an unprecedented event in this country.”
He denounced that the elections were held under a state of emergency. Declared 24 hours before the elections. Which “was in force precisely in the provinces in which those that the Ecuadorian opposition has maintained a historic popular support.”
The text pointed out that the intimidating military presence at polling stations was evidente. Spread throughout the country, while “some observers and international observers declared that they felt pressured by official authorities.”
He also stated that in the midst of this repressive climate. Days and hours before the election, “arbitrary detentions were recorded, accompanied by the open persecution of Ecuadorian opposition leaders.
” The Bolivarian alliance pointed out that to further rarefie the atmosphere. The government of Ecuador hired the services of a notorious U.S. mercenary and his team. An expert in military and psychological violence.
In order to further intimidate the electorate. He explained that international observers officially reported that the electoral contest took place in “conditions of inequality, with improper use of institutions and the resources of the State, with last-minute rule changes in crucial organisational aspects”.
These irregularities, he stressed, “generated distrust and uncertainty in the electoral process.” Commenting on the opinion polls prior to the election and most of the exit polls last Sunday. The ALBA-TCP said that “they foresaw a close race and foresaw a possible triumph of the candidate Luisa González, of Revolución Ciudadana.
” However, he declared, surprisingly this “was not reflected in the official results presented. Which, on the contrary, seem unsustainable.” The Ecuadorian National Electoral Council reported that the current president Daniel Noboa. Obtaining 55.83 percent of the votes, surpassed Luisa González, with only 44.17 percent. A little more than 10 percentage points of difference.
