Comunicación política de Guillermo Lasso sobre la crisis carcelaria en el primer año y medio de gobierno

Abstract

The present investigation exposes the analysis of President Guillermo Lasso's discourse on the prison crisis that occurred in his government. These bloody deaths inside the prisons of Ecuador in the different provinces of the country, have shown that the narcocriminal gangs have taken control inside the prisons, for this reason the high number of massacres can be evidenced. The methodology encompasses a qualitative approach, for which the interpretive paradigm was used. For the respective discourse analysis, we worked with the author Teun van Dijk, focusing on the text, context, action and ideology. Thus, allowing to meet the objectives set. This investigation had the purpose of answering the question that was raised in this investigation: how was Guillermo Lasso's political communication about the prison crisis handled in the first year and a half of government? Therefore, a sample of some of his speeches on the subject was taken to answer the question posed. These samples were the report to the nation, press conferences and interviews that allowed analyzing the political communication of the President of the Republic. The results of these analyzes showed that the political communication of President Guillermo Lasso was not adequate since more preparation is needed when presenting the situation and its solutions to the people. For which it was concluded that he lacks preparation before giving a speech so as not to fall into contradictions or repetitive speeches.
