Social networks are already flooded with comments and conclusions about the alleged agreements in the upcoming Parliament. There is talk of impunity, the trial of the prosecutor, the trial of President Guillermo Lasso and many other things.

In Ecuador, we have the possibility of drawing conclusions from theorems without postulates or axioms that have already been previously demonstrated. That is, the famous LQQD, “what we wanted to show” was stated without proper support.

We are facing enormous problems and the challenge of having a transitional government for the first time in a constitutional form, a very short government, which will not have the necessary time to correct serious structural problems, but which will have time to build bridges and promote dialogue between all sectors of the country.

Ecuador’s solution starts (and I have been saying this for years) from achieving a national program that includes the will of all sectors in the country. A nation develops not because the government is good, but because there is a sense of a country with a destination to reach, a process that takes decades, to defeat poverty and achieve equality.

When there is no will for dialogue, when the other is excluded, what happens to Gaza and Israel. It simply ends in a confrontation with gruesome consequences.

Colombians, conservatives and liberals, after the Thousand Day War of the end of the 19th and early 20th century, and after decades of violence in the 20th century, signed in Benidorm, a city in the community of Valencia, in the province of Alicante, the so-called called the “Pact of Benidorm”, where the two giants of Colombian politics, the liberal Alberto Lleras Camargo and the conservative Laureano Gómez, on behalf of their parties, agreed to end the political crisis in Colombia.

There are few conflicts in history as violent and hateful as the Spanish Civil War. But the time came when the heirs of the anti-monarchist republicans, with numerous communists in their ranks, had to sit down at the negotiating table with the heirs of the monarchy and their staunch rivals in the war. There was death, torture, shooting. Nothing comparable to our relatively peaceful political life in Ecuador. And there, in Moncloa, they signed an agreement that would seal the beginning of modern Spain, an agreement without which that country would not have achieved what it has achieved today.

The transitional government must find a country willing to bring all Ecuadorians together to find solutions to the problems. It is up to the governments to propose, and the political class to evaluate the proposals, in order to reach the national goals that we need, resulting from the agreement.

There are enough reasons for many to feel special dissatisfaction with certain sectors, who persecuted, who abused power, others who were anarchists, others who were accused of constant opportunism. Everyone is accused of something. But they all get a vote and whether we like it or not they represent a percentage of the population. And, normally, in Ecuador, the Assembly represents several parties that are not government parties. So, there is no way out if we draw conclusions in advance and do not have a dialogue between everyone. (OR)
