Requesting addition to Career/Consul General section (COI disclosure)~2026-38528-96 (talk) 23:42, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

edit

Hello, I am Linda Machuca, the subject of this article, and I'd like to disclose a conflict of interest before requesting this edit, in line with Wikipedia's guidelines for subjects editing their own biography. I'd like to propose the following addition to the section covering my time as Consul General of Ecuador in New York, along with supporting sources: "As Consul General of Ecuador in New York, a post she held from 2016 to early 2020, Linda Machuca oversaw the construction and inauguration of the consulate's new facilities in Manhattan, a project the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry announced as complete in February 2018. She was known for running a consulate closely engaged with the local community, offering free workshops in entrepreneurship, education, health, legal orientation, and OSHA workplace-safety training for construction workers, in addition to visits to detention centers to support Ecuadorians facing immigration proceedings. Her office also partnered with the New York City Comptroller to help reunite an Ecuadorian immigrant worker with over $40,000 in unpaid prevailing wages, using the consulate's diplomatic pouch to deliver the funds after he had returned to Ecuador. In December 2018, Machuca was elected president of the Coalition of Latin American Consuls in New York (CLACNY), chosen unanimously by fellow consuls." Sources:

Wrong page. You likely meant to add this to the talk page of Linda Machuca (politician). TinglesFrickinMap (talk) 00:04, 7 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
