I have been consciously following political events in my country for more than six decades and I can say that in recent years I have witnessed the total degradation of public affairs. Many seem to be vying to win the worst performer award.

History collects great personalities who appear, act and disappear. Leaders such as José María Velasco Ibarra, Camilo Ponce, Raúl Clemente Huerta, Jaime Roldós, Osvaldo Hurtado, León Febres-Cordero, Rodrigo Borja and Sixto Durán-Ballén in the last century. People with successes and flaws, but dignified and honest. The 21st century began with a very exuberant man like Gustavo Noboa. They were all patriots, their lights shine in the past, but unfortunately they do not illuminate the paths of the present.

The collection of signatures among parliamentarians for the impeachment of the President of the Republic Guillermo Lass begins

except sui generis In the case of Abdalla Bucaram, he did not see parliamentarians inventing excuses to fire the first judges. Now the two go in combination, like commercial offers. It is sad to listen to some speeches filled with malicious and ignorant arguments. They already consider the president a political corpse because they consider him responsible for the actions of others, forgetting that man has the essential right to be responsible for what he does. The oxymoron of the omission commission needs a lot of thought. That’s genius.

We have had enough of seeing the bickering of the Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control on the news, but it seems that the substitutes do not exceed the level of incompetence of their predecessors. Why don’t they agree?

How long can the process of impeachment of the president in Ecuador take?

Anyone with a position of power uses it to threaten the paralysis of the state…

Many of us who express our opinion in journalistic columns write about the pernicious use of constitutional guarantees and condemn the fact that individual judges even at dawn pronounce sentences for the release of prisoners of various crimes, in the lucrative business of drug trafficking. In the same judiciary, there is no shortage of those who defend them, but there remains an ominous feeling that dirty money has bought the conscience of justice dispensers.

They take advantage of the Government’s weakness. Anyone with a space of power uses it to threaten to paralyze the country, to instigate some kind of general strike, a coup d’état technique to overthrow Guillermo Lasso.

A lot of money is circulating to protect the lagoon of tainted waters in which float the corpses of those killed by drug traffickers and their allies. We were never like this. Evil was an exception.

Let’s not blame others. Let’s begin by applying the Kantian principle that our behavior serves as a standard for the behavior of others. secular ethics. Those who lead the Republic must

have behavior that others can imitate. I do not mean personal, intimate morality, but public ethics that allow us to restore principles that no one disputes because they are the ones that allow people and societies to solve their problems and progress.

Respect for others, laws and good customs, honesty, honesty of judges, wisdom of legislators, diligence of administrators. I began this writing by mentioning rulers worth emulating because they were honest. Let us follow their examples, let their light shine on us. (OR)
