Elecciones en Ecuador EN VIVO: cobertura minuto a minuto de la jornada electoral

Más de 13 millones de ecuatorianos están convocados este domingo a las urnas para elegir en segunda vuelta al próximo presidente de la República
Más de 13 millones de ecuatorianos están convocados este domingo a las urnas para elegir en segunda vuelta al próximo presidente de la República. La jornada enfrenta al actual mandatario Daniel Noboa, quien busca la reelección tras un año y medio en el poder, y a la candidata del correísmo, Luisa González, en un contexto marcado por una grave crisis de seguridad, fragilidad económica y alta polarización política.
Ambos aspirantes representan proyectos de país contrapuestos. Noboa propone continuar con su gestión enfocada en el combate al crimen organizado, bajo un modelo de Estado reducido y con alianzas estratégicas con el sector privado. González, por su parte, impulsa un retorno a un Estado más intervencionista, con aumento del gasto público, créditos estatales, reformas institucionales y una política migratoria alineada con el régimen venezolano de Nicolás Maduro.
El balotaje se perfila como una elección histórica. De ganar, Luisa González, de 47 años, se convertiría en la primera mujer electa presidenta del país desde el retorno a la democracia. Daniel Noboa, de 37 años, busca consolidar su mandato iniciado en noviembre de 2023, tras imponerse en unas elecciones extraordinarias convocadas luego de la disolución de la Asamblea Nacional por parte del entonces presidente Guillermo Lasso.
A continuación, cobertura minuto a minuto de la jornada electoral:

La presidenta del CNE, Diana Atamaint, aseguró que el proceso se desarrolla con garantías de seguridad y transparencia. “Aplaudimos a quienes no renuncian a su derecho de decidir el futuro del Ecuador”, afirmó.
En el país, el voto es obligatorio para los mayores de 18 años y facultativo para personas de 16 y 17 años, adultos mayores, militares y policías. En el exterior, aunque el voto también es facultativo, las autoridades electorales destacaron la importancia de la participación ciudadana en una jornada que definirá el rumbo político del país.

Trump gives Hamas ‘three to four days’ to accept plan or meet a ‘a very sad end’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the Hamas terrorist network has up to four days to accept his 20-point peace plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip or face «a very sad end.»
«We’re going to do about 3 or 4 days. We’ll see how it is,» he told reporters. «Now, all of the Arab countries are signed up. The Muslim countries all signed up. Israel’s all signed up.
«And Hamas is either going to be doing it or not. And if it’s not, it’s going to be a very sad end,» he added.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday accepted a plan that would ultimately end military operations in Gaza, disarm Hamas, secure the return of all 46 hostages and lay out a path to rebuild the war-ravaged Gaza Strip.
Fox News confirmed on Monday that top officials from Qatar and Egypt met with Hamas negotiators and shared the U.S.-backed plan.
The Hamas negotiators confirmed they would review it «in good faith and provide a response,» an official briefed on the talks said.
The plan has been widely championed by leaders across the Middle East, Europe and parts of Asia.
A joint statement issued by Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar and Egypt not only «welcomed» Trump’s proposal to end the war and rebuild Gaza, but also highlighted his commitment to addressing Israel’s security concerns, including barring the forced displacement of Palestinians and halting annexation of the West Bank.

«The ministers affirm their readiness to engage positively and constructively with the United States and the parties toward finalizing the agreement and ensuring its implementation, in a manner that ensures peace, security, and stability for the peoples of the region,» the joint statement said.
Similarly, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron — both of whom have said they now recognize the «State of Palestine» despite Washington’s opposition to the move — championed Trump’s peace plan in separate statements.
The 20-point proposal was met with mixed reviews in Israel, where hard-right officials within Netanyahu’s own coalition fiercely rejected the prime minister’s acceptance of the plan.
Netanyahu’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, renewed questions over the fate of the prime minister’s coalition after he condemned the agreement on Tuesday as a «resounding diplomatic failure» and said it amounted to «a closing of eyes and turning our backs on all the lessons of Oct. 7.»

In contrast, fierce critics of Netanyahu, including Opposition leader Yair Lapid, said he is «convinced that amidst the tangle of interests and the pressing timeline dictated by the hostages’ situation, what President Trump presented yesterday is the only plan with feasibility.»
Blue and White Party leader, Benny Gantz, also confirmed that his party «would not allow petty politics to sabotage the plan.»

GOP accuses Dems of risking shutdown to restore ‘illegal immigrant healthcare’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As Congress barrels toward Tuesday’s midnight deadline to avoid a government shutdown, Republicans are blasting Democrats for prioritizing «free healthcare for illegal aliens» over paying U.S. troops, who would miss paychecks if the government closes.
Both Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., have accused Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of trying to reinstate taxpayer-funded medical benefits for illegal immigrants through congressional Democrats’ continuing resolution (CR), a charge Democrats dispute.
Congressional Democrats’ main demand has been an extension of expiring Obamacare tax credits, but among their wishlist is a push to repeal the healthcare title of President Donald Trump’s signature piece of legislation.
Republicans aimed to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse from Medicaid, reforms which included limiting eligibility and penalizing states who extended healthcare benefits to illegal immigrants.

«They want to have illegal aliens come into our country and get massive healthcare at the cost to everybody else, and we don’t have it. And that’s, I would say, the number one reason that they want to strike is to get illegal immigrants’ healthcare,» Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, as he said Republicans are not responsible for the looming government shutdown.
«Democrats are about to shut down the government because they demand we fund healthcare for illegal aliens,» Vice President JD Vance posted on X last week. Johnson added on Sunday that Schumer wants to «reinstate free healthcare for illegal aliens paid by American taxpayers.»
JD VANCE SAYS GOVERNMENT LIKELY ‘HEADED INTO A SHUTDOWN’ AFTER TRUMP MEETS WITH DEMS
Schumer and congressional Democrats, however, have labeled the issue the «Republican healthcare crisis,» and placed the onus of a government shutdown on Trump and the GOP. The top Senate Democrat rejected Republican’s claims that they were trying to allow illegal immigrants onto federal health care rolls ahead of the vote to fund the government.
«They say that undocumented people are going to get these credits,» Schumer said. «That is absolutely false. That is one of the big lies that they tell.»
Republicans have seized on Democrats’ efforts to roll back Medicaid reform included in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which narrowly passed through Congress earlier this year.

Last week on Truth Social, Trump stated, «Democrats want Illegal Aliens, many of them VIOLENT CRIMINALS, to receive FREE Healthcare.»
While many of the provisions they sought to include in Trump’s colossal bill were nixed by Senate rules, one provision included in the legislation limited Medicaid eligibility to U.S. citizens and other certain lawful permanent residents, according to the American Medical Association.
That provision simultaneously barred «previously eligible legal immigrants such as refugees, individuals granted asylum, and certain abused spouses and children,» and is set to take effect on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
Taxpayer-funded Medicaid coverage for illegal immigrants has long been prohibited, except for treatment of emergency medical conditions.
The OBBBA made certain changes to the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP), which dictates how much the federal government matches states’ funding for Medicaid.

Obamacare, meanwhile, allowed for states to expand their Medicaid populations with the federal government matching 90% of the costs of that expanded population. States that took that expansion and also provide healthcare funding for illegal immigrants are due to receive less federal funding under OBBBA, with that cost-sharing margin going from 90% to 80%.
And while illegal immigrants do not qualify for Medicaid and Medicare, Emergency Medicaid reimbursements allow hospitals to recoup the cost of emergency care for people who would be eligible for Medicaid if they had legal status. The OBBBA limits those federal dollars, however, to just allow for the state’s regular FMAP share.

While ACA subsidies aren’t set to expire until the end of this year, Democrats warned that insurers were set to send out new guidance and rates on Wednesday. They charged that on average, premium costs for people enrolled on Obamacare that use the credits would go up by an average of 114%.
