Mediante el estudio de la detención de tres personas por protestar en contra de la Metrovía, este artículo analiza la naturaleza de la imposición de las políticas públicas en Guayaquil. Para el efecto, se recogen los hechos narrados en los medios de prensa de la ciudad, se los encuadra dentro de una práctica política local generalizada y se los contrasta con teorías contemporáneas de derechos humanos en materia de libertad de expresión. El artículo demuestra el carácter autoritario y antidemocrático de las autoridades locales y la necesidad de crear espacios que respeten y propicien el debate crítico entre las autoridades y la sociedad civil sobre las políticas públicas.
