Unknown gunmen killed presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio – running on a strong-on-crime, anti-corruption, anti-China platform – on Wednesday night before a massive crowd outside of a campaign event in Quito, Ecuador.
Villavicencio was one of eight candidates vying for the presidency of Ecuador. The election remains scheduled to take place on August 20, the result of current President Guillermo Lasso, a conservative, using a constitutional provision to dissolve the National Assembly (the federal legislature) in May and call for general elections. Lasso claimed the unprecedented measure was necessary because leftist lawmakers’ incessant attempts to impeach him had made the regular business of government impossible. Lasso is not one of the eight candidates on the ballot.

Abe took a hard line on China, too.
(running on a strong-on-crime, anti-corruption, anti-China platform)
Sounds familiar....
Like a broken record.
The Progressives want their New World Order
If they have to kill to get it
They’re just following in the steps of their false idol, Karl Marx, don’t you know.
Yeah
And we used to mock ‘South American Politics’ ...
Sad.
Central and South America is a mixed bag of nuts but there is a general trend for the worse. Some are getting better like El Salvador. Some are economically in trouble but stable like Argentina. Others are slowly sliding back into disaster like Columbia. While others have been shit holes and remain shit holes like Nicaragua.
It’s not just our Southern border. That’s “Hispandering” by the Democrats.
We have been focusing all our effort in the Middle East, the Caucasus, Africa and ignoring Central and South America. Our backyard has a bad weed problem and we’ve been ignoring it.
That’s of course part of the reason why you have hundreds of thousands trying to come in from the South. Many, most even, are NOT Mexican, that’s just cliche. These people walk through Mexico but usually come from places like Honduras, Guatemala, Columbia, El Salvador. The Mexican authorities are actually quite mean to these folks. But that’s just personal observation.
*They’re just following in the steps of their false idol, Karl Marx, don’t you know.*
Who’s worse Marx or Mohammed?
They’re both equally evil, in my book.
Both are dead but they’re both here.
Unknown gunman? Sounds like they aren’t too concerned with finding out who the perps are.
It was inevitable.
Having spent a good portion of my childhood in Mexico I can certainly vouch for how badly Mexican authorities treat others from foreign countries.
They wouldn’t hesitate to deport you in a heartbeat.
The political corruption of Latin American nations make them a bad starting point. The only way to end that is to hit the reset button and start over Revolution style.
The corruption is in their DNA I think. My grandfather was assassinated trying to fight it.
Well, clearly if the left can’t control who is running or gets in office, the only answer is to eliminate them.
As in permanently eliminate.
Assassination has been used for a long time.

Six men suspected of killing Ecuadorian presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio have been killed in prison. The prison authority in Ecuador reported this in a statement.
Ecuadorian President Lasso writes on...
Drug violence
Villavicencio was shot dead in the capital Quito in August after speaking at a campaign rally, two weeks before the elections. The gunman was killed in a shootout after the attack.
Shortly after Villavicencio’s murder, six Colombians were arrested. They were linked to the Los Lobos drug gang. It is not clear whether these are also the six suspects who have now been killed.
Villavicencio’s death shocked the country, which in recent years has become a hub of cocaine trafficking and struggles with drug violence...
