Two healthy young candidates have a real chance of power. This is a very serious commitment, given the conditions of violence and social crisis. The government teams must prepare to unmask the populist offers that cannot be fulfilled, such as the Fuel Refinery with the petrochemical industry, because nobody is going to invest or grant credits to Ecuador for a sum of 10 billion dollars that costs the failed project.
With the large deficit that we have, plus the significant decrease in oil revenues due to the Yasuní and the probable effects of the El Niño Phenomenon, there is no room for demagogic offers or time to lose to recover international confidence and thus make credits and/or viable. investment from abroad, if the new government inspires confidence and demonstrates efficiency in its action.
But if you can get income immediately if you charge the debtors who have not paid to the SRI where there are at least 3 billion dollars, for which you have to do what is necessary to impose strong sanctions on those who have earned large profits in the country and refuse to pay, which is a crime that cannot be justified. (Felipe Gonzáles in Spain arrested the famous artist Lola Flores because she was a large tax debtor and the next day the big defaulters lined up to pay her taxes).
It is also possible to collect US$ 2 billion from IESS debtors and harshly punish employers who are evading their obligation to affiliate workers, which would reduce the social protection deficit and the IESS would have more resources.
Due to the country’s emergencies, the second round should be brought forward so as not to have to wait almost 2 months and then a month and a half for the assumption of power.
On the other hand, Guillermo Lasso must deliver all the reports on how he leaves the country and for that the government team made up of competent and impeccable technicians must be ready to receive clear and honest data to make decisions from day one.
