Ecuadorians electing new president, choosing between an heir to a banana empire and an attorney_我的网站

A |     本报讯 记者陈晶涛报道 7月10日，区委书记、区委法治建设委员会主任徐显帅主持召开区委法治建设委员会第五次会议。    CARACAS, Venezuela -- Frightened by unprecedented violence on the streets and within prisons, Ecuadorians have a universal demand for the president they will choose Sunday — safety.The runoff election in the South American country pits an heir to a banana empire, Daniel Noboa, and an attorney, Luisa González. Both have limited governing experience and will undoubtedly have their work cut out.The election comes as more Ecuadorians become victims of drug-related violence that erupted roughly three years ago and intensified in August, when a presidential candidate was assassinated in broad daylight. People continuously watch their backs and limit how often they leave home. The uneasiness even pushed Noboa to add a bulletproof vest to his daily outfit.Whoever wins with a simple majority of votes will govern for only 15 months, until May 2025, which is what remains of the presidency of Guillermo Lasso. He cut his term short when he dissolved the country’s National Assembly in May as lawmakers carried out impeachment proceedings against him over alleged improprieties in a contract by a state-owned company.Lasso, a conservative former banker, clashed constantly with lawmakers after his election in 2021 and decided not to run in the special election. Under Lasso's watch, violent deaths soared, reaching 4,600 in 2022, the country’s highest in history and double the total in 2021. The National Police tallied 3,568 violent deaths in the first half of 2023.“Security affects us all, and whether poor or rich, no one is safe from criminals anymore,” housewife Ximena Flores said ahead of the runoff election. “Do you think that a new president will be able to do something in such a short time? I think not. It will be a new disappointment for everyone.”The spike in violence is tied to cocaine trafficking. Mexican, Colombian and Balkan cartels have set roots in Ecuador and operate with assistance from local criminal gangs.Voting is mandatory in Ecuador for people ages 18 through 64. Those who don’t comply face a fine of about $45. Polls were to close in late afternoon, and results were expected Sunday evening.Noboa and González, both of whom have served short stints as lawmakers, advanced to the runoff by finishing ahead of six other candidates in the election’s first round Aug. 22.Noboa, 35, is an heir to a fortune built on Ecuador’s main crop, bananas. His political career began in 2021, when he won a seat in the National Assembly and chaired its Economic Development Commission. He opened an event organizing company when he was 18 and then joined his father’s Noboa Corp., where he held management positions in the shipping, logistics and commercial areas.González, 45, held various government jobs during the decade-long presidency of Rafael Correa, her mentor, and was a lawmaker until May. She was unknown to most voters until Correa’s party picked her as its presidential candidate. At the start of the campaign, she said Correa would be her adviser, but she has recently tried to distance herself a bit in an effort to court voters who oppose the former president.___Associated Press writer Gonzalo Solano in Quito, Ecuador, contributed to this report.。区委法治建设委员会组成人员，区委法治建设委员会各协调小组组长、副组长，部分乡镇（街道）、部门参加述法人员参加会议；市司法局相关负责人受邀出席会议。         　　徐显帅在讲话中就做好今年法治建设工作强调，全区上下要坚持以习近平法治思想为指引，坚持党的领导，自觉践行法治思想，坚决维护法律权威，不断健全领导体制，切实强化队伍建设，始终坚守法治建设正确政治方向；要坚持依法行政，提升营商环境法治化水平、行政决策法治化水平、行政执法法治化水平，推动法治政府建设率先突破；要坚持公正司法，不断以改革、监督、公开促进社会公平正义有效彰显；要坚持自治、法治、德治、智治“四治”融合，加快法治社会建设前进步伐，不断巩固社会安定有序、人民安居乐业的良好局面，为全区各项事业高质量发展提供坚实的法治保障，为南票区全面振兴连战连捷提供高水平法治保障。         　　会上，区委常委、社会工作部部长、政法委书记李凌超对《中共南票区委法治建设委员会2024年工作要点》作了起草说明，会议审议并原则通过；区人民检察院检察长韩雪涛对《关于加强人民检察院检察建议工作的意见》作了起草说明，会议审议并原则通过。会上，龙腾街道、虹螺岘镇、区妇联、区工信局主要负责人依次述法，会议逐一进行了点评。
