Ecuador Election Sunday: Presidential Candidate : Shot Dead and a 2nd MP shot dead
 
[QUITO, Aug 10 (Reuters) -
The assassination of Ecuadorean presidential candidate
Fernando Villavicencio less than two weeks
before the election has sent shockwaves
through the South American country,
leading some rivals to
suspend campaigning and bringing
the issue of rising violence to the foreground.
Villavicencio, a vocal critic of corruption
and organized crime, was killed on Wednesday
during an evening campaign
event in northern Quito.

A suspect in the crime later died of injuries sustained
in a shoot-out and six others have
so far been arrested,
the attorney general's office said.
Nine people, including a candidate
for the legislature and two police officers,
were injured, it added.
President Guillermo Lasso said the crime
was clearly an attempt to sabotage
the election,
but that voting would go ahead as planned
on Aug. 20,
albeit amid a national state of emergency,
with the military mobilized to guarantee security.]

This is what the globalists do if you dare to challenge them and their hold on power. They're mobsters.

Thankfully they're not gonna get our uncle Donnie. He's got the military protecting him.

The Election is this Sunday

A 2nd MP was shot dead

[A local party leader has been killed
in Ecuador, the second politician to be assassinated
in the space of a week.

Pedro Briones was shot dead
by gunmen on a motorcycle
at his home in northern
Esmeraldas province.
His killing comes just five days after
presidential candidate

gunned down in the capital, Quito.

Ecuador's murder rate has surged
as local gangs have forged alliances
with international crime cartels.]
