Ecuadorian President is Denounced in Villavicencio Murder Case
The Fernando Villavicencio family also blames Interior Minister Juan Zapata, Police Commander Fausto Salinas, and the director of the security operation.
On Friday, the family of the late presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio announced that they will file a complaint against President Guillermo Lasso and other public officials for the assassination of the Ecuadorian politician on August 9.
At press conference, the family's lawyer, Marco Yulema, explained that the assassination of Villavicencio at the hands of hitmen occurred as a result of an "intentional omission" by the authorities.
The Lasso administration did not comply with its responsibility to ensure the life of a presidential candidate who had received threats against him and requested political protection.
"The Ecuadorian State did not fulfill its role as guarantor... They left him abandoned, they let him die," the lawyer said and recounted the breach of various security protocols that occurred at the time of Villavicencio's murder.
Among them, for example, was the total absence of protection on the left side of the vehicle in which the candidate was embarking. For this reason, the hitmen fired without any impediment and at a very short notice against Villavicencio.
The Villavicencio family also blames Interior Minister Juan Zapata, Police Commander Fausto Salinas, and the director of the security operation.
In another press conference, Zapata said that the Villavicencio family has the right to file a complaint. However, he did not refer directly to the failures in the protection protocols.
Instead, the Interior Minister said that the police authorities cannot pronounce themselves until the Internal Affairs Directorate does not conclude an investigation on this case.

Lefitst Candidate Gonzalez Vows to Investigate Villavicencio Murder
The Citizen Revolution presidencial candidate remains leading all vote intention polls published to date.
On Thursday, Luisa Gonzalez, the presidential candidate of the Revolución Ciudadana, assured that she will immediately create a commission to investigate the assassination of Fernando Villavicencio once she takes office as president of Ecuador.
Gonzalez stated categorically that there are many doubts about the crime of Villavicencio, who was shot dead by hit men as he was leaving a rally in Quito on August 9 and while he was supposedly well protected by the National Police forces.
So far, the Ecuadorian police authorities have reported that six individuals of Colombian nationality were detained as alleged perpetrators of the crime.
Another individual identified as the possible shooter died after being captured and while he was in the offices of the Prosecutor's Office.
Before his murder, however, Villavicencio reported death threats against him allegedly from Adolfo Macias (aka Fito), the leader of the Los Choneros, a gang dedicated to drug trafficking and organized crime.
"There are many dark things" behind this assassination, Gonzalez noted, recalling versions of experts who have questioned the deficiencies of the police protection. Among them is the fact that Villavicencio did not occupy an armored vehicle that was nearby.
"His cell phone does not show up either," pointed out the Citizen Revolution presidencial candidate, who remains the leader in all vote intention polls published to date.

"In these last hours we have received threats from Mr. Captain Ortega, on social networks. They are going to bend us to make decisions that are outlawed," says Diana.
Furthermore, she also insisted that the electoral authorities "are not going to bend us with pressure in social networks so that we make decisions that are outside the law" and it is not the first time they occur.
On the other hand, the president of the Ecuadorian CNE requested this day to President Guillermo Lasso, "that in favor of citizen security and the election day of August, that the Armed Forces of the country be deployed and can guard the Electoral Precincts days prior to the Early Elections 2023."

Putin Points to Steady Development of Multipolar World Order
"Most countries are ready to assert their sovereignty and defend their national interests, traditions, culture," the Russian president said.
On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday said the world is witnessing the steady rise of a new multipolar world order.
"Most countries are ready to assert their sovereignty and defend their national interests, traditions, culture," he said during the 11th Moscow Conference on International Security.
Putin pointed out that a multipolar world order will ultimately contribute to "steady and sustainable global development," and help solve pressing social, economic, technological and environmental challenges.
He further noted that those who currently provoke new conflicts around the world and try to escalate existing ones are "seeking to benefit from human tragedy" by dividing nations, enforcing obedience, and exploiting the resources of other states.
"The United States is intent on reformatting the existing system of interstate relations in the Asia-Pacific region as it deems fit," he said, adding that Washington's Indo-Pacific strategies are only aimed at forming U.S.-led military and political associations.
NATO member states are actively building up their offensive potential, and are using military and non-military means to exert pressure on other states, he noted.
By pumping billions of dollars into Ukraine, supplying Kiev with equipment, and providing ongoing military assistance, Western states are further escalating the conflict and drawing other countries into it, he said.
