00:00Meanwhile in Ecuador this Friday, President Danilo Boat announced that he will relocate
00:04the seat of the national government to Guayaquil.
00:08The state stated during a speech at a public event that he will establish his base of operations
00:13in Guayaquil, a decision that comes three days after the arrest of the mayor of the
00:18city, Aquiles Alvarez.
00:20Some critics of the measure assert that these moves are part of the president's political
00:24strategy to control territories affected by violence, but without a clear legal framework
00:29and without being formalized by an official decree.
00:33In this context, the skepticism is growing because recent scandals related to drug trafficking
00:39reported by the arrested mayor implicate the president's family circle.
