Ecuador in a State of Emergency
Ecuador has been deeply divided for some years now. Not even the liberal-conservative President Guillermo Lasso, elected in 2021, has been able to change this situation. On May 17, Lasso dissolved the National Assembly, Ecuador's parliament, following impeachment proceedings and resigned from office. This unusual but constitutional measure was supposed to clear the way for new elections, scheduled for August 20, 2023. Now, the election campaign has dramatically generated great uncertainty in the country: the murder of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, journalist and former member of Ecuador's National Assembly, just 11 days before the presidential elections, has plunged the country into a deep crisis.

Conoce al Equipo 👋 ¡Hola! Soy Alice Zymelka y estoy muy emocionada de iniciar nuevos retos profesionales como Administradora de Finanzas y Contabilidad en la Fundación Friedrich Naumann, Países Andinos. Desde hace tres años el Perú me acogió como mi nuevo hogar, y cada día que pasa me enamoro más de este maravilloso país y de la amabilidad de su gente. Es por eso que estoy tan feliz de formar parte de un equipo increíble aquí en FNF, que apoya y fomenta proyectos para el desarrollo de la democracia, la libertad y los derechos humanos. En mi tiempo libre, me encanta explorar y degustar toda la deliciosa gastronomía de Lima. También me gusta la música y soy vocalista de una banda junto con muchos amigos de diferentes lugares del mundo. Adoro a mis gatos, uno es ecuatoriano y la otra es peruanita. Cuando tengo un poco de tiempo libre, me gusta ir a las montañas en las afueras de Lima para escalar o hacer trekking. #fnfpaisesandinos #ConoceAlEquipo
