00:08The head of the state declared during a speech at a public event that he will establish his base of
00:15operations in Guayaquil,
00:17a decision that comes three days after the arrest of the mayor of the city, Aquiles Alvarez.
00:24Some critics of the emissions assert that these moves are part of the presidential political strategy to control territories affected
00:34by the violence,
00:35but without a clear legal framework and without being formalized by an official decree.
00:42In this context, skepticism is rowing because recent scandals related to drug trafficking reported by the arrested mayor implicated the
00:52president's family circle.
