On Sunday, Ecuadorians participate in a crucial referendum for the future of the country, in which they vote on the return of foreign military bases and the adoption of a new constitution. This consultation is important for President Daniel Noboa, who is seeking American support in the fight against violence generated by drug trafficking gangs. Ecuador is facing a severe security crisis, having one of the highest homicide rates in Latin America. The vote, mandatory for nearly 14 million citizens, includes questions regarding the funding of political parties and the reduction of the number of parliamentarians. Polls suggest a majority support for the return of military bases, against the backdrop of an American military deployment in the region.
