Why Ecuador's foreign policy is at stake with Luisa González

The future of Ecuador's foreign policy will be defined in the upcoming elections, where the proposals of Daniel Noboa and Luisa González reflect opposing visions. While Noboa has worked to strengthen the country's strategic relationships, González's proposal could represent a setback in Ecuador's international insertion.

During his administration, Daniel Noboa has demonstrated leadership in the defense of democracy and has maintained a firm stance against authoritarian regimes like those of Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba.

Additionally, he has strengthened relations with multilateral organizations such as the IMF and the World Bank, securing key financing of more than 4 billion dollars. These resources have allowed the country to cover outstanding debts and ensure the stability of dollarization.

In the commercial sphere, Noboa has promoted negotiations for new Free Trade Agreements with South Korea and Canada, which will open new opportunities for Ecuadorian products in strategic markets.

This approach seeks to strengthen competitiveness and attract foreign investment, promoting sustainable economic development.

In contrast, Luisa González represents a model of foreign policy anchored in the past, aligned with questioned regimes and with a limited view of global trade. Her refusal to criticize dictatorships in the region and her silence in the face of human rights abuses raise doubts about her ability to lead a modern and effective foreign policy.

Additionally, her approach could distance Ecuador from key markets like the United States and the European Union, putting the future of the export sector at risk.

For Ecuador, it is essential to advance in an international policy based on the defense of human rights, trade openness, and the pursuit of new strategic alliances. "The country needs leadership that bets on development and global integration," an international analyst noted.

Noboa's administration has proven to be a pillar for Ecuador's economic stability and international projection. Meanwhile, González's proposal seems anchored in models that have already proven to be inefficient and risky.

Ecuador requires a firm, modern foreign policy focused on strengthening its presence in global markets.
