The report of the President of the Republic, Guillermo Lasso, dated May 24 this year, gave a valuable recommendation: choose the best in the next elections.

He said this in the middle of a brief explanation of why he decided to die on the cross. That he must look back to Ecuador, he assured, alluding to the political crisis that ended with the dissolution of the National Assembly, which persecuted him politically and claimed to have blocked his government from day one. The decree claimed that the country was going through a political crisis and internal turmoil.

This is the context in which ‘extraordinary elections’ are called. On August 20, Ecuador will elect a transitional president and the Assembly under equal conditions.

“When voting, please remember, those who stole money from the Pedernales hospital cannot return,” warned the head of state, who believes that by electing the best, he will prevent history from repeating itself, the recent political crisis.

These are the main offers of President Guillermo Lasso for the next few months of his government

It is the responsibility of the movements and political parties to propose the best men and the best, so that the applicants can choose between the offer of ready and honest people and, hopefully, needless to say, among the least bad.

Raising the level of discussion and proposals for the benefit of Ecuador can only be achieved with a legislature and a government of honest officials.

The State Electoral Council approved in the regulations for ‘extraordinary elections’ that at least 25% of the lists for multi-member elections should be youth, and in the case of provincial representatives and special constituencies abroad, 30% should be led by women. It is desirable that there are capable people in all areas, so that the Legislature does not reach the level of management acceptance of 9.07 percent because the Assembly was dissolved on May 17, according to data from Click Report.

Once again, Ecuadorians will be the ones to decide who will rule them, but political groups will nominate candidates. The future of the country is at stake in this synergy, it is up to all of us to act responsibly. (OR)
