Luisa González's unrealistic plan: 25 promises without support or direction

During the presidential debate on March 23, Luisa González presented a package of 25 proposals that, far from being a serious government plan, reflect a populist strategy without economic or technical support. In contrast, Daniel Noboa presented real achievements and achievable goals. The contrast was clear: an agenda based on empty promises versus a management that already shows results.

These are González's 25 proposals and why they lack viability or technical coherence:

1. Rehire dismissed teachers and give permanent appointments: without indicating budget or objective criteria.
2. Assume the total cost of educational infrastructure: a million-dollar expense without clear financing.
3. Declare safe zones with permanent surveillance: without a logistical plan or coordination with municipalities.
4. Create rehabilitation clinics, starting in Santa Elena: doesn't specify management model or financing.
5. Provide free breakfast, supplies, and school uniforms: pure populism without indicating where the money will come from.
6. Manage school breakfast with the popular and solidarity economy: doesn't explain quality controls or logistics.
7. Not return to the drug table: a superficial measure without a comprehensive addiction policy.
8. Strengthen school care with social workers and psychologists: without indicating hiring or real coverage.
9. Create two million jobs in four years: an unrealistic figure without economic support or detailed plan.
10. Declare a health emergency: an empty phrase that doesn't solve the structural crisis of the system.
11. Fix infrastructure and build new hospitals: doesn't say with what funds or in what timeframes.
12. Remove people linked to drug trafficking from the health system: without explaining how they will be identified or guaranteeing rights.
13. Take control of ports, airports, and borders: without defining mechanisms or institutional coordination.
14. Strengthen Armed Forces and Police with technology: recycled promise without execution plan.
15. US and EU assistance for law enforcement: doesn't demonstrate that there are agreements or approaches.
16. Restructure 1,300 police units: doesn't clarify investment, schedule, or concrete objectives.
17. Guarantee dollarization with "work, order, and peace": a slogan without economic support or real monetary proposals.
18. Lower VAT: pure fiscal populism, would severely affect the state budget.
19. Reactivate the economy with public-private partnerships: vague and inconsistent with the statist history of correísmo.
20. Work on electrical infrastructure to avoid blackouts: doesn't mention investments or plan responsibilities.
21. Convert public banking into development banking with low credits: an unfeasible promise that would jeopardize financial stability.
22. Respect the Constitution to attract foreign investment: contradictory coming from a movement that violated constitutional norms.
23. Unity with all social sectors: a generality without operational content.
24. Work with local governments regardless of the party: something that already happens in the current administration.
25. Expel Venezuelans protected under Decree 370: a xenophobic, contradictory, and legally unfeasible proposal.

A wish list without technical support

Many of these measures were presented without schedules, costs, implementation mechanisms, or assigned responsibilities. Correísmo returns to promise everything, as in the past, without explaining anything. Meanwhile, Noboa defended the continuity of his government plan with concrete indicators: more security, international agreements, and institutional stability.

Faced with a candidate who offered everything without explaining anything, Daniel Noboa presented himself as a statesman who knows how to execute. The choice is not only between two names but between two ways of governing: one with results, the other with empty speeches.

Luisa González's 25 proposals evidence a populism without rhyme or reason. Ecuador has already experienced the consequences of promising without delivering. Now, more than ever, it needs management, transparency, and realism.
