Fortissimo, your either very brave or naive.
To be so sure of an election nowadays.
Just remind me about the polls, trump v Clinton. Such strong unsubstantiated opinions. Then, WHOOPS up pops the facts.

Fortissimo, I don’t think he will win, but he most certainly could win if there is a very large turnout, and even if he doesn’t it does demonstrate the level of the anti-mining sentiment in Ecuador, and as you rightly point out his influence in the likely run-off could lead to a more “environmentally friendly” than even before Louisa being in post.
Remember this from a fortnight ago pads.
"We’re on our way, we’re on our way. To the major league, we’re on our way. How we get there I don’t know. How we get there I don’t care. All I know is Solgold’s on its way.".

You are bonkers man. Perez polled well down the list. He will have a roll to play if there's a run off. Assembly control important has can inhibit presidential influence.

Padmaster, and your post does what with regard to your trying to ridicule every fact that doesn't fit your wishfull thinking narrative.
Not to mention your ridiculously excitable child like posts. £2.50 by xmas
This guy is a serious contender, and if he wins we could be in a lot of trouble.
First round August 20th and one way or another the end of the Solg merry dance will be in sight soon.
But of course not necessarily, this is Solg we’re talking about remember.
Behave Kalneedabari - otherwise another ban to add to your list
Quady, you are proving my point about fantasy and wishfull thinking, far far better than I could ever put into words.
DinnerMoney no this is not a wind up.
The article I posted also commented on Lasso and that a good deal of the crime originated from his premiership.
That's what I have said and are still saying.
Quady my final word on it.
Forbes report on problems facing Ecuador's attempts to get foreign investment.
"The biggest obstacle in Ecuador’s path is organized crime. The crime surge, which started in earnest in 2020 but accelerated dramatically last year, is comparable to that of Medellín, Colombia during the times of Pablo Escobar, or Mexico in the 2000s. Ecuador finds itself in the eye of the storm"
Quady yourself, Novice Etal please research before attempting to be smart
Quady, no matter how many out of date reports you find, the fact is, the escalating crime and corruption COULD, NOT WILL, COULD, have an impact on solg going forward. And as usual the I'll informed find it a point of ridicule. As they can't bare the facts, other than imagined positives.
Novice today again trying to impress the gang again today shows, how out of depth he is.
"The rest of the tripe today about political uncertainty increased violence etc etc is absolutely irrelevant"
DinnerMoney why are you posting the global peace index, it has nothing to do with what I posted.
I am looking at it from a crime perspective.
Novice, literally the only one foolish enough to put an October (!!) timeline on a TO is you. So forgive the masses when we completely ignore literally everything that you say.
Is it still 20p by Friday? 😂
Simpleton.
Covgaz website is irrelevant and redundant in solgolds case buddy why waste any time and money on something that will not exist in about 3 months time. The rest of the tripe today about political uncertainty increased violence etc etc is absolutely irrelevant here, the kids are pulling your plonkers and you lot are biting
DinnerMoney that's a different set of stats.
I mean , if they cannot even be ass*d to fulfil the promises on the new website....well it's just sloppy & untrustworthy.
Wether the violence has any impact on us is a moot point. However, I've never believed SC really wants to live there for longer than he has to and he certainly won't be regarding the place as his dream retirement home.
Hi DM sorry just picked up your earlier message….. try and avoid this place mostly at weekends.
Re the website….. yeah not exactly fast and smart is it.
My hope is that it was intended to coincide with some form of news release ….. anyway we’ll get there eventually, the only question for me is whether it’s a fill sale or just sell Cascabel and spin off the other licenses….. preferably the latter but almost don’t care which now

Good evening DinnerMoney, if you take a look at the report I posted at the top it says updated June 2023.
Still talking tosh needalife.
It takes all you said into account.
Ecuador is still the fifth safest country in South America, and when you consider that a large part of the current violence is over Lasso it is considerably safer.
It appears I'm not the only clown scaremongering
Quady, I enclose the latest economic report from forbes
Note what it says about violence and foreign investment. Then rethink your post.
"But for business, the more urgent issue is crime. Foreign direct investment has hit a bottleneck as investors wait to see if the security situation improves. Without political unity, international support, and a focus on intelligence-gathering and restoring the social safety net, that is unlikely."
Ecuador has the third-highest level of cocaine seizures in the world after Colombia and the United States, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime's World Drug Report 2022. This means more cocaine, more money, and more weapons flowing through the hands of Ecuador's gangs, including the Lobos.
Over the last three years, the Lobos have played a key role in the breakdown of security in Ecuador, leading the country to have the highest homicide rate increase in Latin America in 2021. The Lobos and their allies have helped bring criminal tactics to Ecuador that the country had rarely seen, including gruesome prison massacres, a normalization in contract killings, the use of car bombs, mass targeting of police, and bodies left hanging from bridges as warnings.
Ecuador is practically submerged in organised crime
Fernando Villavicencio, centrist presidential candidate
The nation’s per capita murder rate has surpassed that of Mexico and Brazil, with more than 4,800 homicides in the nation of 18mn last year, almost double the rate of the year before and quadruple that of 2018, according to the interior ministry.
Spend a few days in any major Ecuadorian city, and it won’t take long to understand why. In the port cities of Guayaquil and Esmeraldas, where the violence is most intense, massacres, targeted assassinations of police and public officials, and car bombs have become weekly occurrences.
In parts of Quito, the capital, shops now close early, and police stop patrolling at night. Across the country, extortion networks are strangling businesses large and small—even in the remote Galapagos Islands.
