厄瓜多尔总统丹尼尔·诺沃亚(Daniel Noboa)声称,他在一次涉及有毒巧克力和果酱的中毒企图中成为目标,声称污染是蓄意的,并得到了其安全小组和军方的证据的支持。 Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa claimed he was targeted in a poisoning attempt involving toxic chocolate and jam, asserting the contamination was intentional and backed by evidence from his security team and the military. 在此之前,在由Conaie土著团体领导、自9月22日以来封锁道路的抗议燃料价格上涨的抗议活动期间,曾有人指控有人企图进行暗杀。 This follows an earlier alleged assassination attempt during protests over rising fuel prices, which were led by the Indigenous group Conaie and have blocked roads since September 22. 专家质疑中毒指控的可信度,认为在11月16日就一项以毒品犯罪为重点的更严厉的宪法举行公民投票之前,这一指控可能出于政治动机。 Experts question the credibility of the poisoning claim, suggesting it may be politically motivated ahead of a November 16 referendum on a tougher constitution focused on drug crime. 厄瓜多尔曾经是拉丁美洲最安全的国家之一,但暴力却急剧增加,包括谋杀、汽车爆炸和监狱屠杀,因为它已成为哥伦比亚和秘鲁之间主要的可卡因中转路线。 Ecuador, once one of Latin America’s safest nations, has seen a sharp rise in violence, including murders, car bombings, and prison massacres, as it has become a major cocaine transit route between Colombia and Peru.
