In recent months, the topic of impeachment has captured the attention of Ecuadorians, especially politicians, and “captures the neglect” of the majority towards major national problems.

We could hear countless arguments, some literally defending the validity of what is being done, others harshly attacking those who advocate the thesis of the trial, and trying to disrupt all the arguments of those who are in favor.

But that, which has a mixture of legal debate and political struggle, is a minority part of the discussions. A discussion was also started on whether the Constitutional Court should only slightly review the formal conditions or whether it should analyze more deeply the formality in relation to the core.

At least six constitutional assemblies were held in Ecuador in the 20th century, all of which promised to solve the population problem, and now another one is being proposed

the other six

And the discussion about “death on the cross” has not stopped either. Some say that the president can exercise this power at any time, as is clearly stated in the Constitution, others say that the moment the president is called for impeachment, the president no longer has that power.

And to continue with the list, which is endless, hours have also been spent on the thesis that when the legislator makes a political, not a criminal, judgment, he has the right to expel based on his appreciation of the style, form, or results and actions of the Government, and not on the merits of the case itself lawsuits.

Regardless of the outcome of this trial, the country must unite in the effort to achieve a new Constitution…

All that we have been wasting time on in recent weeks can be attributed to the gluttony of the opposition, the ineffectiveness of the political front in the last two years, the president’s way of working or the rabbits coming out of their burrows.

Rafael Correa promotes (again) the founding assembly. Did the application of this figure benefit Ecuador?

But the real and only reason is that the Constitution got us into these problems, it is the Constitution, with its big, huge and perverse contradictions.precisely the one with ideas about the state completely removed from our history and our idiosyncrasies, opens the door to all this sterile discussion, all this horrible atmosphere of insignificant political discussion.

This Constitution is not Ecuadorian, not only because it was produced by some foreigners who came to experiment with our homeland, because there is no place for stupidity in their homeland, but also because it contains absurdities, follies and huge gaps that are drowning each again in this society .

Let us remember the Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control (CCCCS) as the last epitaph on the grave of the country’s deinstitutionalization. A foreign invention for guinea pigs.

That is why this trial is another instance for checking the inefficient bizarre birth of the Constitution.

Regardless of the outcome of this trial, the country must unite in the effort to achieve a new Constitution, made by Ecuadorians, for Ecuadorians, not a political program that would perpetuate power.

We hope that this trial will help Ecuadorians, and especially their political leaders, to understand once and for all that the book inherited from the Ecuadorian version of 21st century socialism must disappear. (OR)
