Valvinnaren får det ”värsta jobbet i Latinamerika”
Vinnaren i Ecuadors presidentval kommer att ställas inför en stor utmaning, skriver Washington Post. Nämligen att på 18 månader återställa lugnet i nationen.
I den andra avgörande omgången, som genomförs på söndagen, ska väljarna bestämma om det blir mitten-höger-kandidaten Daniel Noboa eller vänsterpolitikern Luisa González som ska ta sig an uppgiften. Vinnaren kommer att sitta vid makten de 18 avslutande månaderna av Guillermo Lassos mandatperiod efter att han i maj upplöste Ecuadors lagstiftande församling.
– Jag tror att det här presidentskapet kommer att bli det värsta jobbet i Latinamerika det kommande och ett halvt året, säger Will Freeman på tankesmedjan Council on Foreign Relations.
