Colombian Shakira’s hateful song, the most popular at the moment, also slipped into the scene of the election campaign taking place today in Ecuador with a view to the February 5th partial elections.
Some candidates took part of the text of the hit of the moment and dedicated it to the authorities in office or their opponents.
In the track, titled Shakira-BZRP Session #53, the Barranquilla singer slams her former partner, Barcelona player Gerard Piqué, “so much, you pose as a champion and when I needed you, you had your worst version given.”
It was precisely this fragment that Quito’s mayoral candidate chose on behalf of the Revolución Ciudadana movement, Pabel Muñoz, who criticized the previous local government of the Ecuadorian capital with a video for Tik Tok.
Another who, like Shakira, wanted to “get the bill” was the candidate for the prefecture of the province of Azuay Dora Ordóñez, who had an illness during last Sunday’s debate and was hospitalized but apparently recovered and the virus song did not missed .
“You thought you hurt me and made me stronger. Women don’t cry anymore, women storm” was the part of the music with which Ordóñez showed his return on television after the patatú had suffered.
The candidates for the various controversial positions continue the campaign in search of votes, reaching for the most popular of the moment – as expected – although many disagree with Shakira’s attitude and her eagerness to “turn around” at the expense of his feelings.
The permit for political proselytism in Ecuador is extended until February 2, three days before the call to the polling stations to elect prefects and vice-prefects, mayors, city and county councilors and members of municipal councils.
Twenty-one election debates are scheduled for this weekend among mayors in counties with more than 100,000 residents.
On election day, more than 13 million Ecuadorians will elect the members of the Civic Participation and Social Control Council and take part in the referendum proposed by Guillermo Lasso’s government, which is opposed by various sectors, including indigenous people, teachers and students.
