In an interview with TeleSUR, González denounced the extensive use of public funds to sway public opinion.
She claimed the Ecuadorian people saw through President Noboa’s intentions and voted against them.
The question regarding the potential return of U.S. military forces to Ecuadorian territory for security cooperation agreements faced 60.64% rejection, while 39.36% voted in favor.
Political Setback and Reprisal Against Noboa’s AdministrationThe results of the referendum are interpreted by analysts as a political setback and punishment for Noboa’s government.
