context_page_description: Rocío González Navas is an Ecuadorian businesswoman. She has been the First Lady of Ecuador since May 24, 2017 as the wife of President Lenín Moreno.
context_section_description: González has been strongly criticized by a sector of the population that had become accustomed to the absence of the figure of First Lady in the Ecuadorian Government, considering it irrelevant and vain for modern times. This has led to several attacks against her, especially with regard to her wardrobe and the origin of the money to support her tastes in that area.
  One of the angriest criticisms originated with a purported news clip spread on social media about a traffic stoppage that González caused on Madrid's Gran Vía in order to make purchases, while accompanying her husband as part of his first presidential tour of Europe in December 2017. However the rumor was immediately denied by the radio station whose name had been used without authorization to spread the false news.
