The Dominican Republic has publicly denounced the violent assault on a convoy transporting Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa, extending its solidarity to the people of Ecuador. In an official statement released via social media by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Dominican government expressed its firm opposition to all acts of violence that jeopardize peace and democratic stability, reiterating its unwavering support for Ecuador in the wake of this alarming incident. The attack took place on Tuesday afternoon in the province of Cañar, where President Noboa was engaged in official duties. Reports indicate that his vehicle was targeted with bullets and stones while en route to an event in El Tambo. Despite the attack, the president emerged unscathed and proceeded with his scheduled activities. Ecuador’s Minister of Environment and Energy, Inés Manzano, subsequently lodged a formal complaint for attempted assassination, highlighting that the presidential vehicle had been struck by gunfire, though this was not distinctly evident in the official footage.
