This is how we are, this is how we feel, every day oscillating between one and the opposite direction, between imposing a course from the National Assembly against the President of the Republic, and then in the other direction, for a moment reflecting on his self-defense. One always attacks, and the other is limited to defense, without a significant counterattack; And that swaying on the swing of the struggle for power is getting rougher and fiercer every day and, it seems, is approaching the point of shock: one side would prevail. I am referring to the political trial initiated by the opposition, whose admissibility was declared by the Constitutional Court.

We are faced with reality with scenarios from which public actors must choose. This path can be chosen by President Lasso, taking the initiative, dissolving the National Assembly, in what is known as the path of death on the cross, but if he delays the decision, it could be unsuccessful: if he took it during the vote to convict him or release him in To the National Assembly, it could be considered obstruction of justice to save himself from impeachment. The opposition could challenge it before the Constitutional Court.

Until I finished writing these lines to send them to EL UNIVERSO, President Lasso did not publicly announce his decision on the matter; although he, personally or through his associates, continuously waved threateningly like a sword over the heads of the members of the assembly who intend or intend to remove him. Of course, the president would choose the way he can solve, at his own discretion, as provided by the Constitution. The decision would take effect immediately, and the National Electoral Council (CNE) should call general elections in seven days.

Submitting the voting results in the National Assembly is the second time. This allows the president to defend himself against accusations and in turn accuse his opponents. In this case, everything would depend on whether the motion for dismissal would unite the cabalistic sum of 92. At the moment, the opposition must be strengthened by an overwhelming victory in the election of the government in the National Assembly; the government bench showed its weakness. Let’s add to that that the opposition took control of the Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control, with which they will be able to elect the most important state supervisory bodies.

Accordingly, the mayor of Quito decided to re-erect the deposed monument to the former president of Argentina, Néstor Kirchner, in Quito. A delicate matter, the mayor should consult with the public. In Ecuador, in Quito, there are monuments in honor of Latin American heroes, such as Bolívar, San Martin, Miranda, Artigas. No one disputes the merits these heroes made for freedom, for our freedom. Will Mr. Kirchner live up to them? Is his personality, involved in so many corruption scandals, worthy of being an example to our youth? Let the people decide! (OR)
