Ecuadorians began voting this Sunday (20) to elect a new president under the shadow of the shooting of a candidate and the state of emergency to control drug trafficking violence. The assassination of Fernando Villavicencio, on August 9, changed positions on the political chessboard and everything indicates that there will not be enough margin to avoid the vote on October 15.
