To title this article in this way about the term or term that President Guillermo Lasso set for himself and shortened his presidential term by more than half, one had to remember the fate of Napoleon when he returned to France from his first captivity, and whose “hundred-day” adventure ended at Waterloo in front of the combined armies of England and Prussia, when Napoleon alone commanded the remnants of the army that had been swallowed up by the Russian winter.

The cases are different, since President Lasso has a truce of two hundred days to manage them with the weakness of the setting sun and in which he will be obeyed less and less. Then he will face the National Assembly, in which the opposition seems to be at least as strong as this now dissolved one, and which will possibly continue with a summary trial, and will certainly question, investigate and monitor the acts of the government, especially those from the time when there is no parliament.

Among the issues that the next National Assembly will investigate, there is one that is being mentioned more and more every day: the issue of debt replacement that would partially benefit a fund called the conservation of the natural wealth of the Galapagos Islands, Galapagos Life. The fund, which is managed by a management board in which the state is in the minority, does not have the ability to make decisions at the last instance and does not have the right of veto, even though it deals with natural resources that belong exclusively to the state. This has raised growing concerns about whether the state is ceding sovereignty, which should be the Government’s main concern; public opinion should be listened to and corrected now, while there is time, before the storm breaks out when the new National Assembly convenes and there is a new Government. Get well!

We assume that this issue will be reviewed by the Foreign Office’s Sovereignty Division, who will consult with the Foreign Affairs Advisory Committee. Doubts increase due to the fact that the chancellor (Gustavo Manrique), being an environmentalist, I understand that an agronomist, who is not familiar with these matters, has not properly considered them, driven only by ecological enthusiasm.

Guillermo Lasso agrees to set up desks to solve the lack of a building for the Council for Citizen Participation, according to Alembert Vera

As it is a matter of sovereignty, we also assume that a report will be requested from the Joint Command of the Armed Forces. As the exchange of bonds involves public funds, the Swiss bank’s loan will be subject to mandatory control by the Chief State Comptroller.

The initiative of this operation is acceptable because of its goal, the protection of the natural wealth of the Galapagos Islands; but for a successful conclusion, the Government must strive to comply with constitutional and legal regulations.

As for the Government of two hundred days, I would say that the Government should to some extent abandon the policy of fiscal austerity and direct part of the accumulated reserves, those that are freely available, to public consumption, to public works that create employment. To meet the urgent needs of the population. (OR)
