Ecuador experienced a weekend with incidents, such as the murder of Brigitte García, councilwoman of San Vicente municipality, and her advisor, a fact that shows how insecurity is still present in the national scenario, even when the military is in the streets.

Last Saturday there was a bomb threat that forced the evacuation of a stadium in the city of Latacunga, where a game of the local first division tournament was being played. The police confirmed in a message on the social network X that they located five explosive charges inside a backpack in the parking lot of the sports center and carried out a controlled detonation.

In addition, in the province of Santa Elena, on the coast, at least six people were killed as a result of an armed attack that authorities link to disputes associated with organized crime. For Carrión, a university professor and lecturer at the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (Flacso), if structural changes are not made, the situation of violence will once again gain ground.
