Luis Chonillo, the Mayor of Durán, has raised concerns about renewed threats directed at Jessika Solís, the former vice-mayor, who has recently been proposed for the role of responsible for the Secretary General of Development and Management with the Community. Solís has a history of resigning from her previous position as vice-mayor and councilor due to similar intimidation. Chonillo's comments reflect a broader issue of instability within local governance as these threats seem to emerge even before Solís could officially take her new post.

The mayor pointed out that these intimidations could indicate ongoing attempts to undermine improvements in municipal administration and disrupt necessary institutional recovery in Durán. By highlighting these threats, Chonillo aims to show the seriousness of the situation and to warn that the municipal institution must not be destabilized further. He has called on public officials to report any potential culprits behind these threats, seeking to foster a safer work environment.

Chonillo's remarks also underscore the challenges faced by local government officials in Ecuador, particularly concerning issues of intimidation that can impede governance and reform efforts. The situation emphasizes the importance of supporting officials like Solís to ensure that progress within the municipality is not thwarted by fear tactics, ultimately affecting the community's development.
