Gunmen Attack Television Station in Ecuador as Violence Gets Out of Control | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Gang violence has reached a fever pitch in Ecuador, with the president declaring a state of emergency and gunmen attacking a television station. The armed men stormed the set on Tuesday in the middle of a live newscast. Police have also been targeted for abduction and a curfew is in effect. Earlier this week, 2 prominent gang leaders escaped from prison. At the TV station no one was killed. 13 attackers were arrested and are set to be charged with terrorism. President of the Global Liberty Alliance and an attorney specializing in national security law, Jason Poblete, joins to give us an update on the situation right now in the majority Catholic country and tells us whether the violence is slowing down at all. Poblete shares more about President Daniel Noboa and how he has handled things so far. Poblete fills us in on where he sees this going and what he thinks comes next. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
