Delivery on loan of property owned by the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security (IESS) in favor of the Ministry of Education, the request was generated by Henry Llanes, representative of pensioners from IESS, because she assures that in critical moments this the measure affects the heritage of the institution.

It is that on May 9, the social security entity was delivered to the loanfor 25 years, a property in the El Batancito sector. The idea is to work there, Since September of this year, the Educational Unit of Juan Larrea Holguín, with all levels, from primary education to high school, in the morning and afternoon, benefiting 1,600 students. Additionally, This will have an investment of approximately $200,000 for general maintenance, arrangement of floors, replenishment of sanitary batteries, revision of electrical and sanitary systems.

The event was attended by Minister of Education María Brown Pérez; IESS Board President Alfredo Ortega; General Director of IESS Diego Salgado; Director of Pichincha Province, Marco Salazar; and educational communities.

In her speech, Minister Brown stated: “By signing this loan, we will be able to start intervening in these facilities to open their doors to the students of Quito.”

Alfredo Ortega stated in his speech that IESS is making available the land all the goods that are necessary and that benefit the community. “I feel satisfied that I work as a team and that I have fulfilled my duty,” he pointed out.

Both authorities agreed that through this action they strive to create an adequate space for education, use the existing infrastructure, as well as meet the demand of students in the city, taking into account the best interests of children and adolescents.

Despite this, according to Henry Llanes, this loan transfer would be contrary to the provisions of Article 372 of the Constitution of the Republic”, diminishing your assets.

Llanes said that Alfredo Ortega has been the president of the IESS Board of Directors for more than a year, and he should already know that “the funds of IESS are not from the treasury, and which, in accordance with the purpose of its creation, should be used to finance the health and pension benefits of its affiliated companies”.

He believes that Ortega’s idea of ​​delivering all the goods that are needed is completely contradictory to what the Government itself claims, because according to Augusto de la Torre (government commissioner for pension fund reform), “it is estimated that the liquidity of the IVM Fund (disability, old age and death) it would disappear in less than two years”.

Llanes considered it The social security property was not properly managed, the annual, updated and evaluated list was not available; There was no proper maintenance of assets at the national level.
