The Deputy Minister of Government, Esteban Torres, reacted to criticism of him and the current Government. In a publication in X On March 30, 2024, he defended the management of the current executive administration.
“It is normal that a pre-election year is hot, it is a political scene and the usual and usual clashes begin. What those who feel very far behind did not expect is that the Noboa government has so much popular support and political success at the door of an election,” Torres highlighted. Ecuador is in the pre-electoral period declared by the National Electoral Council. The first round vote will be 9 February 2025.
For example, one of the main criticisms that several sectors agree on, such as the United Workers Front, is about the so-called Phoenix Plan to control insecurity. They doubt its existence, while the Government assures that it is activated. Furthermore, although the National Assembly has approved some executive bills, there are also issues that generate dissent, such as reforms to the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code pending treatment in the Legislature.
“They assumed it was going to be a failure like the last governments and the opposite makes them desperate, leads them to lies, insults and infamy. Ecuadorians, however, already know them and hate them. They know that with this Government the recovery of the Homeland began despite the hard road that still lies ahead and that we face it day by day with vision, optimism and firmness,” said the Vice Minister of Government.
“We are doing what they they never did nor did they want to do it. Today, unfortunately, they pray for the failure of the Government, the Police and the Armed Forces in the fight against criminals. Ecuadorians don’t care about them,” he added.
Torres also referred to his detractors. “Personally, they will never forgive me.” a former president and his acolytes that I have confronted them in the National Assembly as was my civic and patriotic duty. “I did it and I would do it again, even if they spend a lot of dollars on troll centers and unemployed slanderers,” he questioned.
