See Presidential Decree 2024/4/10 for the whole text: https://minka.presidencia.gob.ec/portal/usuarios_externos.jsf

Below an article from Primicias about this state of exception (that is erroneously called a “state of emergency” in the article):

These are the 19 cantons with a curfew in Ecuador, according to the government's new state of emergency

Amid the national electricity crisis and power outages, Daniel Noboa’s government issued a new state of emergency, which includes a curfew in 19 cantons and one parish.

On the morning of October 3, the government issued a new emergency decree, as noted on the official website of the Presidency, though no authority had reported the document as of Thursday morning.

The new state of emergency now includes Ecuador’s capital, Quito, and will last for 60 days.

According to the government, the measure was taken due to "the increase in hostilities, the commission of crimes, and the intensity of the presence of armed groups" in Guayas, Los Ríos, Manabí, Orellana, Santa Elena, El Oro, and the metropolitan district of Quito.

The measure again includes the canton of Ponce Enríquez in Azuay, where groups involved in illegal mining are present.

Additionally, Article 8 of Decree No. 410 imposes a curfew or restriction on freedom of movement every day from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. for 60 days.

This curfew will be applied in 19 cantons across four provinces, as well as one parish in Guayaquil. Here are the affected locations:

  • Ponce Enríquez
  • Durán
  • Balao
  • Tenguel
  • Babahoyo
  • Buena Fe
  • Quevedo
  • Pueblo Viejo
  • Vinces
  • Valencia
  • Ventanas
  • Mocache
  • Urdaneta
  • Baba
  • Palenque
  • Quinsaloma
  • Montalvo
  • Joya de los Sachas
  • Puerto Francisco de Orellana
  • Loreto

The decree reminds that people circulating during the restricted hours will be placed at the disposal of the competent authorities." -

For corrupt judges & lawyers- "...So, let's use the same logic with my "buddies." If as a lawyer you are found guilty of having bribed a judge or prosecutor or you are that judge or prosecutor bribed, it is impossible for us to think that it is coherent that we can once again entrust them with their participation in the system of administration of justice.

A corrupt judge, lawyer or prosecutor must be banned for life from practicing the profession. Let them go out to sweep streets or pass cafes, but in this profession they cannot participate again. Because without Justice there is no State and they have made sure that Ecuador is a failed State.

But I am more radical: I propose that the perpetual inability to practice the profession ...

"There is an agreement between the US and Ecuador on reciprocal tariffs, driven by President Donald Trump and President Noboa.

The United States announced the elimination of reciprocal tariffs for certain Ecuadorian exports, following the conclusion of a new agreement promoted by President Donald Trump and President Daniel Noboa.

The understanding incorporates chapters of trade, work, environment and security, with the aim of providing greater competitiveness and relief to the export sector of Ecuador.

The Minister of Production and Foreign Trade, Luis Jaramillo, stressed that this framework "will lay the foundations of trade, economic and national security relations", emphasizing that the agreement marks a decisive step to deepen cooperation between the two countries.

According to the Ecuadorian Government, the measure will allow to expand opportunities for domestic products and strengthen the bilateral agenda in strategic areas for development and security." -
