It is not a mission or a direct function of FF. AA., but as one of the few respectable, responsible and professional institutions that survives with credibility in the country, its activities should contribute to guaranteeing the results of the next presidential and parliamentary elections.

Due to the events that happened during the elections in recent years, there is not much confidence in the electoral body, which has already experienced suspicious power outages or its vice president publicly denounced that in the last process of sectional elections in Guayaquil there was a parallel computer center and then nothing happened . It is true that FF. AA. cooperate effectively in electoral processes. From the printing of ballots at the Military Geographical Institute to the transfer of materials at the national level to the most remote locations. After the election, they are in charge of guarding and transferring the ballot boxes, with votes and minutes, but it is impossible to know what happened inside the almost 40,000 receiving panels; if all completed or allegedly amended. In other words, anything could happen in the election event and it cannot be guaranteed. FF. AA. They have professional, technical, systematic and logistical staff who will contribute civilly in this sense and thereby guarantee that the public opinion expressed at the polling stations and the results will be respected, whatever they may be.

If they monitor and protect during the elections, why can’t they be engaged, precisely because of the insecurity and mistrust that events such as power outages have produced, to at least record and photograph every act, as an effective backup, so that it can be checked if there are supposed changes. There was already an additional copy of the act, then the so-called the fourth act, about 22 years ago, under the control of the Supreme Electoral Court and served as a reserve for any contingencies.

We must be aware that the country is obsessed with delinquency, organized crime and drug policy, which want to take power amid institutional weakness and thus managed to penetrate important control agencies.

Institutions such as the administrative and disciplinary judicial body or the misnamed Council for Citizen Participation cannot be trusted. Which is serious, when power is taken over and dictatorships disguised as democracy are introduced.

Experiences in the region are disastrous. The case of Venezuela, which is not a narrative as it is said, but the reality of all violations of rights and freedoms, where since 1999 one thought prevails with the Bolivarian revolution, which allegedly did not lose in elections that were absolutely controlled and rigged by the government and which do not create any guarantee and independence. Absolute control of institutions. The same is happening in Nicaragua where also only the dictator wins, in the name of socialism, and the opponents are banned, persecuted and imprisoned. Will you follow those models, which oppressed and impoverished their peoples? (OR)
