The government must create sources of jobs and force school-age children to stay in school and college. I believe that as long as there is a job and resources, no one will be forced to steal or extort. Lack of work and laziness are the soil for crime. (profound)

Shops and businesses in our country have requested that police checkpoints be replaced with community guards, as police stations are always empty; on the other hand, community guards (who must be at least two) will remain at a surveillance point in their community and in the event of any attempted robbery or attack, they will immediately provide assistance together with all residents in the area. .

The Daniel Noboa government and the National Assembly must strengthen the laws to enable the armed forces to firmly fight against extortionists, who are now (for some reason) called “vaccinators”. It is unfair that Ecuadorian shops and businesses have to take large sums of money from their revenues to continue working, and the police do nothing. I think in every neighborhood you have heard about how some neighbor or grocery store is vaccinating, and the worst thing is that if you file a complaint, nothing happens, and even the business itself is put in danger because of it. The government and law enforcement must take strong action against these criminals who take away the daily livelihood of thousands of families. (profound)

Plainclothes police should go to communities where it is suspected that someone is being vaccinated to collect information and catch the criminals. After being caught, the police or law enforcement officers must help businesses declare and report these vaccinators to put them in jail. (profound)
