Correísmo no longer knows what lie to invent: Iza contradicted himself in every sentence

While he claims to support dollarization, Iza backs those who want to end it

Leonidas Iza once again demonstrated that he doesn't have a clear line on the country's economic direction. Although he defended dollarization as a tool for stability, his alliance with Correísmo shows a contradiction that calls the coherence of his discourse into question.

While he calls for protecting the dollar, he supports sectors that push ideas like "Ecuadorian dollarization," an ambiguous proposal promoted by figures of the Citizen Revolution. 

This duality not only confuses but also reflects a political bipolarity similar to that of Correísmo itself, which claims to defend the people while undermining their economic foundations.

Iza also criticized the outflow of foreign currency but failed to point out that it was during Correísta governments when capital flight was most facilitated through opaque businesses and unjustified exemptions

Instead of taking a firm stance, his discourse mixes legitimate grievances with alliances that lack clear principles.

The controversy over "Ecuadollars" didn't escape this ambiguity either. Iza claimed they don't represent a new currency, but he remained silent in the face of those who seek to create deliberate confusion around the monetary system. Does it make sense to listen to those who say one thing and do another, sowing doubts while dressing as defenders of the people?

Iza's words left more questions than answers, repeating the pattern of Correísmo: promising stability while flirting with destabilization. In times of crisis, political incoherence is not just a mistake, it's a risk for everyone.
