A dispute, a fight, a battle can be won by the mistakes of opponents, rivals or enemies more than by one’s own successes. War theorists, political advisers and all the masses who revolve around advertising agree on this. And it is precisely this principle that has allowed the government to survive without credit for it. It must be emphasized, so far, because despite the clumsiness of their opponents and the efforts of the Government Minister, we may be close to the moment when the balance is no longer maintained between one’s own passivity and the mistakes of others, but between mistakes. on both sides.side. It is true that the inertness of the Government served to clearly see the mediocrity of the opposition expressed in the Assembly. But it seems that this strategy (to call it that, although it would be more accurate to describe it as carelessness) has reached its limit with the formalization of the impeachment and, although it seems strange, the escape of the former minister Duarte.

CAL needs time to review the impeachment motion against Guillermo Lasso

It is impossible to list all the crimes that were committed in the process that preceded the presentation of the trial and that are materialized in the approved document. Reading the latter shows the degree of illiteracy (not only judicial illiteracy, as described by a famous jurist) of those who wrote it, as well as those who signed it. But the fact that they managed to get to that point with a shred of such intellectual poverty shows that the ignorance that characterizes them and the clumsiness that characterizes them are not enough to stop them. The Government is placing its hope in the opinion of the Constitutional Court, which allegedly would not allow something as harsh as this initiative to happen. It is a hypothesis based on the confidence provided by the training of the judges who make it, which is tantamount to allowing, again, things to be defined by the mistakes of others rather than by one’s own actions.

However, as the most radical and clumsy (and thus the most honest) member of the committee that prepared the report openly said, the Court’s decision will be just a secondary detail for that group. If that closes the way to a trial, there remains the resource of the street, where the one who knows about these things comes in to play (although on this occasion he has to play the part of a useful fool and puts the indigenous movement in harm’s way). an uncertain situation like the one he experienced during his collaboration with Gutiérrez). In that case, they would try to force a military arbitration through robbery and violence, and they would not limit themselves only to the departure of Las, but they would also remove the vice-president to the position, as a puppet, who serves them so well as president. assembly.

The escape of a former minister – convicted of bribery and without a hint of political persecution – illuminates the level to which they can reach. Correa’s own verbal incontinence and her exposure at the Argentine embassy in Venezuela show that this was a very well-coordinated operation of international proportions. If they have the capacity for this, it means that they not only make mistakes, but can achieve victories that leave the Government and the country in a bad light. It is naïve to believe in mistakes resulting from the mediocrity of others. (OR)
