News Summary: Health Crisis, Security in Guayaquil, and Advances in Education
In Guayaquil, urban violence has caused a family tragedy that has shocked the city. A teenager lost his life and his father was injured during a heavy exchange of gunfire. Following the incident, the National Police reacted quickly and managed to detain two suspects related to this crime, while authorities investigate the motives for the attack.
On the other hand, the labor situation in the health sector is critical. The staff of the León Becerra hospital has announced a hunger strike and an indefinite sit-in as a protest measure. This decision was made due to an accumulated debt of 350,000 dollars in back wages, which prevents workers from covering their basic needs and continuing their normal duties.
In the political sphere, the National Assembly is moving forward with the impeachment process against Inés Manzano. The Legislative Administration Council (CAL) officially qualified the request, which will now pass to the Fiscalization Commission for review. This body will be responsible for analyzing the evidence and determining the official's future in her position.
