The Secretary of Communication of the Presidency of Ecuador, Irene Vélez, denied the publication made by the American media The New Yorker, about statements that President Daniel Noboa had made regarding his counterparts from El Salvador, Nayib Bukele; Javier Milei, from Argentina; Gabriel Boric, from Chile; Gustavo Petro, from Colombia; and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, from Brazil.

Vélez stated that The New Yorker was invited months ago by the national government to demonstrate how all human rights were being complied with in the midst of a state of emergency; However, that space and that closeness that was given to the medium has been used to not only criticize, but also generate fronts of attacks on the Government.
