Paúl Romero

Paúl Romero is an investigative journalist with over 15 years of experience specializing in security and defense issues in Ecuador. Recently, he has been in the news for revealing alleged negligence in the procurement of a strategic radar system meant to combat narcotrafficking, which led to his exclusion from official coverage events by the Ministry of Defense. His reporting has sparked significant controversy and raised concerns about press freedom in Ecuador, as he asserts that the military's new guidelines for media access amount to prior censorship.
