Ecuadors opposition-controlled parliament on Tuesday voted to hold an impeachment trial for President Guillermo Lasso on embezzlement charges, in its second attempt to oust him in a year.

Ecuador was known as the “isla de paz” – an island of peace – in the 1980s, when compared to its neighbors Colombia and Peru, some of the world’s biggest producers of cocaine.

Corruption charges are the latest problem for President Guillermo Lasso, who has failed to curb violence in Ecuador.

San Antonio police said a 25-year old man was critically wounded by gunfire at Fiesta de Los Reyes at Market Square in San Antonio on Thursday night.

It appears Mother Nature will bless the two upcoming major Fiesta parades with mostly clear skies and mild temperatures.

Night in Old San Antonio opens on Tuesday night on the grounds of La Villita, one of the city’s oldest quarters.

Fiesta goers will need to dodge more showers to have fun this week, according to the National Weather Service.

Gunmen in speedboats, carnage in prisons … ‘We do not deny that we are in the worst moment of violence in the country,’ says defence minister as embattled president clings to office

Ecuador’s President Guillermo Lasso has warned that he will trigger a never-before-used clause to dissolve the National Congress if opposition lawmakers try to impeach him on corruption charges.

The Fiesta Flambeau Parade, the Battle of Flowers parade, and the Texas Cavaliers parade all have something unique to offer.
