President Daniel Noboa will have a minority in the National Assembly and opposition from the Correístas who are plugged into State agencies, in the National Court of Justice, in the Constitutional Court and in some media; Conaie will join unions and drug trafficking. He might seem like a president thrown, like Daniel, into the lions’ den.
However, Daniel Noboa has behaved so far like a peacemaker and could be the president who achieves national reconciliation if he breaks the habit of presidents who betray their former candidates. Will Daniel be able to pacify the lions?
Ecuador, which has lost so many opportunities, can take advantage of the fact that the lions have lost their teeth. The citizen revolution will have understood that it is condemned to win the first round and lose the second because its leader and the fugitives are a living memory of authoritarianism, hatred and corruption.
Daniel Noboa’s delicate way of thanking the defeated candidate and Luisa González’s way of congratulating the winner and offering him support could be the beginning of civilized politics. The authorities of the citizen revolution in cities and provinces should understand that their future demands the removal of the corrupt and fugitives from their party.
We do not know what Daniel Noboa will be in power; From what we have seen so far, he seems to want peace and the country seems to support the possibility of reaching national reconciliation, taking seriously the offer, perhaps simulated, of Correísta support and making fun of the rejection, perhaps self-interested, of anti-Correismo to that support.
Despite the mediocre right-wing governments with Moreno and Lazo, the country did not allow itself to be carried away by the pendulum movement that tilted the electorate towards the left. The Ecuadorian knows what is right and what is left; He disappointed Correa and the populist international because he trusts more in the right to achieve work, economic growth and peace.
