In a landmark political event, Ecuador witnessed an overwhelming public rejection of key government proposals during a recent referendum. With voter turnout surpassing 80 percent, the Ecuadorian people delivered a decisive message by voting ‘NO’ on four critical issues. Nearly 90 percent of the votes counted revealed that 60.54 percent opposed the establishment of foreign military bases, 58.04 percent rejected reducing the number of assembly members, 53.45 percent objected to public funding for political parties, and 61.58 percent declined the proposal to convene a Constituent Assembly. This unexpected outcome marked a significant political victory for the nation. A high-ranking diplomat, expressing solidarity with Ecuador, hailed the event as a triumph for dignity and a rejection of ‘defeatist policies’ linked to corruption and drug trafficking. He emphasized that Ecuador is now on a path to reclaiming popular victories and combating systemic issues of violence and subjugation. The referendum underscored the people’s resilience and their commitment to shaping a future free from external and internal threats.
