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.
He said that there are experts with plenty of knowledge who weren’t taken into account and who have the skills to assume the job of minister of Energía..." -

SUN 05OCT25 (11:03) #ParoDay14 #Quito #Ecuador Pres Noboa: "No one can come and take by force the capital of all Ecuadorians.
To those who choose violence, the law awaits them. To those who act like criminals, they will be treated as criminals.
We continue doing what is our duty: we will be in Pastaza tomorrow, together with those who truly build the country, helping those who need it most to produce more and get ahead." - (1/2)
"While some want to stop Ecuador, we propel it forward.
We will reduce the VAT to 8% during the holidays of October 9, and November 2 and 3, because this country is not going to grind to a halt because of a few who lost the business of smuggling and illegal mining.
To boost the local economy, on November 14 we will pay the thirteenth salary to public employees,
so families will have more money during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We invite the private sector to join this initiative." - (2/2)
