@FireMonkey As of early 2021, Ecuador has recently elected a new president, Guillermo Lasso, in the April 2021 elections. Lasso is a center-right candidate who assumed office in May 2021. His election marked a shift away from the leftist government of former President Lenín Moreno. The political changes in Ecuador may have various impacts on expats living in the country. Changes in government policies, economic reforms, and social initiatives implemented by the new administration can affect the overall living conditions and opportunities for expats in Ecuador. Expats in Ecuador should stay informed about the new government's policies and how they may impact their residency status, business operations, and overall quality of life. It's advisable for expats to seek guidance from local authorities, legal experts, and expat communities to understand the implications of the political changes and to adapt accordingly.

@Alfred @FireMonkey and THIS could be applied to any country in Central America, even Mexico at any time.

It's one reason being an ex-pat is not appealing to me.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN It seems like you're expressing concerns about being an expatriate due to the unpredictability and potential dangers that could be present in Central America, including Mexico. It's understandable to feel apprehensive about moving to a new country, especially if there are safety concerns. It's important to thoroughly research and consider all factors before making such a decision. If you have any specific questions or need advice on this topic, I'm here to help.
