“Noboa has adopted a militarized approach to crime in Ecuador, frequently invoking states of emergency, expanding the military role in internal security, weakened judicial institutions, and raising human rights concerns.[15] Supporters say his approach has helped to fight crime,[16] while critics perceive Noboa as an autocrat,[17][18] accusing him of human rights violations, centralization of power and undermining press freedom.[19][20]”
“Daniel Roy Gilchrist Noboa Azín was born in Miami, Florida, United States on 30 November 1987,[21][22] and was raised in Guayaquil.[23][24][25] He is the son of Ecuadorian businessman Álvaro Noboa and Ecuadorian physician Annabella Azín.[26] Noboa graduated from the New York University Stern School of Business in 2010,[27] and later earned a Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.[28]”

But… needle solidly swayed.
