Militarizing prisons, ports and customs, strengthening security in schools in the face of growing violence and a popular consultation in Ecuador were the proposals that marked Sunday’s debate (1) between presidential candidates Luisa González and Daniel Noboa, who will face each other in the second shift on October 15th.
The candidates, who denounced threats suffered during the campaign, attended the event wearing bulletproof vests, which they removed during the debate, which was marked by a major security operation.
The presidential campaign in Ecuador, a country shaken in recent years by drug trafficking and the actions of criminal groups, was marked by the shooting of centrist candidate Fernando Villavicencio on August 9.
