10OCT24 (CHL) "Ten hours of blackouts each day from Wednesday to domingo was announced today, after which the schedule for next week will be announced.
Antonio Goncalves resigned after announcing the new blackout schedule as Ministro de Energía y Minas after 3 months in the office,
and was replaced by Inés Manzano who the Government said will lead the transformation of an expired (energy) matrix. She will execute renewable energy projects that the Government
has already started which will guarantee sustainable and sovereign energy in the medium and long term.
Pres. Noboa has appointed 5 Ministers of Energy and Mines in his year in office.
His first had a degree in International Relations and was Vice Minister of Governability in Pres. Lasso’s term; the second left office after he was accused of sabotage after the first set of blackouts in abril;
the 3rd was a civil engineer and is currently the minister of Public Works <How about that – an appointee to a ministry that’s related to the appointee’s experience.>;
the 4th, Goncalves (the one just leaving his position), is an economist and occupied positions in the Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo. Minister Manzano, the latest appointee, is a lawyer specializing in Environmental Rights.
For Felipe Cisneros, an energy analyst, the decision of Pres. Noboa to appoint ministers of Energía with no experience in the sector shows the improvisation with which he is managing a sector in crisis.

🃏This aint an April fools day JOKE🀄️Let the 👹Paros / Strikes👺 Return with a Vengeance⚔️🛡💣🔥01APRIL 2026 - 📈 Prices of basic necessities are rising.📊 "The #SRI (Internal Revenue Service) is applying a 15% VAT to everyday food items such as processed milk, yogurt, bread, noodles, and more.
In practice, going to the market will cost more, and money will go less. This comes on top of rising fuel and transportation costs. The cost of living is increasing, and the burden of the crisis is once again falling on the people."
