President Daniel Noboa received important support for his administration on Sunday, after Ecuadorians endorsed in a referendum and popular consultation that the Constitution and some regulations be modified to toughen the fight against organized crime.
The majority of Ecuadorians voted “yes” to the 9 questions focused on security and which include allowing the extradition of Ecuadorian criminals, continuing the deployment of the armed forces on the streets and increasing penalties for some crimes such as terrorism and drug trafficking.
The day took place with the presence of members of the Organization of American States or OAS, who affirmed that it was a peaceful day.
“It has been a calm day, there are no events that tarnish a democratic exercise like this, which is very relevant and allows each person to cast their vote of preference,” they said.
The consultation was also seen as a thermometer of the Noboa government.
For some analysts, now the president must show results after receiving people’s support for his security plan.
