A glass inside the plenary hall was broken by the tremor that occurred on November 23.
A glass broke inside the plenary session of the National Assembly as a result of the earthquake that occurred on November 23 in Quito, so session 742, called for 11:00, was suspended and will be installed at 15: 00 virtually.
After the earthquake, the building was evacuated. Legislators and support personnel will connect to the session via telematics, whose agenda contains two points related to the processing of two projects that reform the Humanitarian Support and Culture laws.
The plenary session is also convened for Wednesday 24 at 11:40 am, for the processing of the urgent project on Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability in the second debate. Until now, the call to session is maintained in person.
The earthquake was registered in the Legislature after 11:00, when the session of the Constitutional Guarantees Commission had barely concluded, which learned of the request for information requested by the State Attorney General’s Office on the report prepared after the investigation of the Pandora Papers case.
Assembly members, officials, and the press were addressing the plenary session from the fifth floor when the building began to rock; amid scares and screams, people had to be evacuated down the emergency stairs to the Assembly gardens. After a security check, it was verified that one of the windows that cover the legislative area was broken, so the session was postponed to 3:00 p.m., electronically. (I)
