As well as the legislative function due to “death on the cross”, neither the executive, political actors were annulled. It should not and cannot die, it is empty due to the bad actions of former members of parliament who are controlled by ambitious interests who wanted to get hold of power, failed to fulfill their obligations and broke the laws. While insecurity is killing us. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), a German philosopher, said, “God is dead”, he did not mean that this had happened, but that the idea of God and his commandments was not followed by society as a moral code.
Some political organizations are considering holding their primaries in early June
It is true that the President of the Republic did not keep most of the promises that brought him to power; It is also true that the National Assembly has blocked most of the proposals sent by the executive, paralyzing the country, without the possibility of reaching an agreement that allows the achievement of welfare and security goals. Some attempts to remove the president from power were visible, but the most inconsistent was impeachment due to alleged “embezzlement” for the contract on maritime oil transportation with the public company Flopec.
In the end, the president used Art. 148 of the Constitution and dissolved the National Assembly causing a serious political crisis and internal unrest and called early elections; We usually call this action the death of the cross, and it is the sudden termination of the duties of members of parliament, and in a short time also of the President of the Republic. It is a democratic mechanism that is triggered by political pressures and constraints, which harm development due to the uncertainty created by the incoming political leadership.
Challenges to the results will be a major element for the date when the next National Assembly takes office; in November, Ecuador could have 137 new legislators in office
Quietly and calmly (without wind and sea currents), we surprisingly receive news from aspiring candidates for new executive and legislative powers. While we wait, uncertainty grows, insecurity increases due to terrorist acts of crime, despite the political manifestos of the “iron hand” getting stronger. Sometimes I don’t understand why certain authorities show their knowledge and in the end say that safety is everyone’s responsibility. Should we leave our activities for safety?
Some Ecuadorians have died, and anyone could die from terrorist actions.
But who has the monopoly on the use of force? State. The German political scientist Max Weber said in his essay Politics as a Vocation (1919): “The state is the source of legitimacy for the use of violence. The police and the army are its main instruments, but this does not mean that only public force can be used: private force can also be used (as in the case of private insurance), if the state allows it. That is, the specific application of violence is delegated or allowed by the state”.
The legislative and executive functions have not died. Some Ecuadorians have died, and anyone could die from terrorist actions. In this dead calm, future presidential and parliamentary representatives appear with huge egos that prevent them from agreeing or uniting in the front of hope for democratic stability and the fight against terrorism that paralyzes us. Promises to the wind! (OR)
