Protesters gathered outside the Court of Justice on Wednesday after preventive detention was ordered against Guayaquil Mayor Aquiles Alvarez. Demonstrators denounced the case as political and judicial persecution by the Daniel Noboa government and demanded Alvarez’s release. Several political figures and organizations also rejected the arrest, framing it as an attack on democratic rights. Alvarez still has the possibility of presenting evidence to dismiss the charges against him as the judicial process continues.
