so little seen
so much felt
but this is only the first day
of a one week project
of two to three
hours a day
it will not
be productive
try to dive deep
into one country
when there is a major event
a first observation
after a shallow dive into
breaking news of the main events
concerning equador's
dominated by
electoral
related
news
like
in this case
the ecuatorian elections
as most of the news will be about it
a time
of low profile events
could allow a more diverse approach
09fev25 19:30 to 20:05
from "Las Manos"
of the painter and sculptor
Oswaldo Guayasamin (1919- Quito - 1999 - Baltimore)
from series like "La Edad de la Ternura" 1964-1965
to "La Edad de la Ira" 1967-197?
a long bridge
was transpassed
by "El grito e El Llanto"
to arrive at such masterpieces
in bombardments
like "Napalm" 1976
or a fragmented face,
with so many simbols
like an America's map
over his pinoquio's nose
surrounded by cynical smile
at the expressionist painting,
almost surrealist,
"El Presidente"
1967
09fev25 20:05 to 20:10

election news cycle
overcome most
of another
worlds
as long as
the second
election turn
is set to occur
2 months from now
polarization
at 09 feb 2025
the national assembly
as divided as the presidential elections
between the parties of the neoliberal-conservador Noboa
and the social-progressist Luiza Gonzáles
repeat the process of most of the countries
with peculiarities
like a series of accusations
against the incumbet
from the exclusion
of correistas
from voting sites
to lack of scrutine
scanning
transmission
of data from regions
in which is strongest
the oposition voting history
and the scandalous
permanence of Noboa
as the acting president
during the campaigns
with the inaction
of the electoral council
even if this was against
the letter of electoral law
10fev25 19:10 to 19:30
a dive around Galapagos Islands
and into the neoclassic and baroc arquitecture
from the planned Santa Ana de los Ríos de Cuenca
or the City of Quito
churches squares, citadels,
so many turned into museums
in these Unesco heritage sites

January 25
the most violent
in ecuatorian history
with more than 700 murders
along with an energy crisis
and economic
recession.
how
this violence
together with
the increased perception
of public corruption
could have affected
the election outcome 6
12feb2025 14:27
in january
ecuador
climbed 3 points
and 13 positions in ranking
of corruption's perception by countries
from the ONG International Transparency
worst in itens like restrictions
on exercise of civil
and political rights
fostering
corruption
authoritarianism
around the elections
the accusations of ellection fraud
by Gonzáles and Noboa
contested by a UE delegation
tend to increase even more
the "perception" of corruption
measured by the international ONG

Election Sunday in Ecuador: Millions in advertising, trollcenters, fake news and electoral crimes, From Pandemia Digitale
"... the [official] advertising costs between the Noboa and González campaigns. While Noboa has spent more than half a million dollars, González has barely spent 15,000.
. To complete this analysis it would be necessary to compare the expenses on platforms such as TikTok, Google, YouTube or Twitter; but these platforms do not have transparency portals. Despite this, it is enough to take a walk through these networks and platforms to realize that they are flooded with advertising for Daniel Noboa's candidacy while finding promoted publications by González is as rare as finding a four-leaf clover...
Although without a doubt where Noboa has invested the most money is in the financing of pseudo-media, promotion of fake news, bots and fake accounts, as we have been analyzing and denouncing for weeks throughout several reports."
