Catholic bishops call on people to avoid polarization in Ecuador ahead of elections

As the people of Ecuador prepare for the next round of the presidential elections on Apr. 13, the dispute between the incumbent, right-wing President Daniel Noboa, and his left-winger opponent Luisa González, appears to be fiercer and fiercer.

SÃO PAULO, Brazil – As the people of Ecuador prepare for the next round of the presidential elections on Apr. 13, the dispute between the incumbent, right-wing President Daniel Noboa, and his left-winger opponent Luisa González, appears to be fiercer and fiercer, with what looks like a technical draw between them.

The situation reflects the political polarization in the Andean country, which has also attained the Catholic Church. The episcopate has been working to reaffirm its values – but in a politically charged context, it even had to deny on one occasion that the Church has taken a side in a dispute between parties.
