Candidate Luisa González was named in the Ligados case investigation

Just days before the second round of elections, presidential candidate Luisa González was included in a complaint regarding the 'Ligados' case. Former advisor Juan Esteban Guarderas requested the Attorney General's Office to investigate her for alleged illicit association.

Guarderas appeared before the Assembly's Security Commission on March 25 and presented details about chats extracted from Augusto Verduga's cell phone. These conversations would reveal attempts to manipulate appointments in the Citizen Participation Council.

According to the former advisor, González allegedly held meetings with Verduga to influence the control of the superintendencies. González's supposed involvement is part of a strategy to place figures aligned with the Citizen Revolution in key state institutions.

In addition to González, Guarderas requested to link other members of correísmo, such as Rafael Correa, Andrés Arauz, Viviana Veloz, and Esther Cuesta. This network, known as the "blue league," would have operated from the political bureau of the movement to capture spaces of institutional power.

The complaint also indicates that figures like Veloz and Cuesta delayed the appointment of the new Superintendent of Banks. This omission would have benefited correísmo, which intended to place Raúl González, close to former President Correa.

In this context, González's proposals, such as the recent promise to legalize lands in Cristo del Consuelo, are overshadowed by the investigations. Meanwhile, Daniel Noboa continues to strengthen his image as an alternative of renewal and institutional transparency.

"This is not about persecution, but about investigating concrete facts that seek to undermine democracy," declared Guarderas during his intervention. The Attorney General's Office has not yet commented on the admission of the request.

The final stretch of the electoral campaign unfolds under the shadow of these allegations. Meanwhile, Noboa's government has maintained a firm stance against the politicization of institutions.

The inclusion of Luisa González in this investigation raises serious doubts about the institutional ethics of correísmo. In contrast, Daniel Noboa's center-right proposal gains strength as a path of order and legality.
