Sumario:The article focuses on the political and social implications of Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa's administration, particularly his alignment with far-right global leaders and the consequences of his policies on the country's socio-economic landscape. Noboa's government has been characterized by a neoliberal agenda that exacerbates poverty and inequality, with significant impacts on women and marginalized communities. His administration has also faced criticism for its militarization strategies in response to rising violence and for prioritizing elite interests, including the establishment of a U.S. military base in the Galápagos Islands and controversial extractive projects that threaten Indigenous rights and environmental integrity. The article highlights the urgent need for a unified leftist response to counteract Noboa's authoritarian tendencies and the socio-ecological crises facing Ecuador.
