An ideal country for a strongman
Ecuador faces a critical moment as violence escalates, with recent prison riots in Esmeraldas and Guayas provinces spilling into the streets and leading to numerous deaths. The assassination of Manta's mayor, Agustín Intriago, and the death of young footballer Ariana Chancay highlight the dire situation. Five journalists have fled the country due to safety concerns, and there's a reported kidnapping of three Comptroller's Office officials in Los Ríos. Amidst pre-election context, there's fear that the public's desperation for security could lead to the rise of a strongman leader, potentially undermining democracy. The article emphasizes the importance of maintaining democratic values while addressing the country's security issues.

How José Rubén Zamora's family has endured repression against the Guatemalan journalist
José Rubén Zamora, founder of the independent Guatemalan newspaper El Periódico, has faced decades of repression for his work in press freedom, including being kidnapped, drugged, and nearly killed in 2008. His son Ramón Zamora, now exiled in Miami, recounts the family's suffering and the continuous legal and physical attacks against his father. Despite the closure of El Periódico in May and José Rubén Zamora's current imprisonment on charges he denies, the family remains committed to the cause of independent journalism. The new president-elect Bernardo Arévalo has vowed to combat corruption and the exodus of journalists, while Dagmar Thiel of Fundamedios highlights the difficult climate for journalists in Guatemala since the creation of a special commission against impunity in 2007.
