Ecuador presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio was assassinated at campaign event on the evening of August 9th.
Villavicencio, a former journalist turned legislator in the country’s recently dissolved National Assembly, was gunned down 10 days before the presidential election while attending a political rally at a school north of the capital city of Quito. As a journalist Villavicencio had exposed vast government corruption that he believed was facilitating an economic takeover by the Chinese Communist Party, Albanian organized crime, Mexican mafia and drug cartels.
Ecuadorian President Guillermo Lasso vowed to make sure the assassination doesn’t go unpunished ahead of the August 20 first round of voting in the Presidential election which was to take place early due to Lasso disbanding the legislature in May while facing an impeachment.
