Ecuador can do everything to improve its image, its economy, its openness to capital and open spaces for investment, but it will not succeed if there is no trust and full legal certainty, in addition to the insecurity of citizens, which is a priority.

Who can invest and take risks if they know that in Ecuador there is a political sector that proclaims the impunity of its members to the world, that from the opposition makes agreements with other sectors, including the current regime, that requests a review of sentences and manages to delay the processes of corruption actions, with the help of examined judges, who openly favor them, delay the trials and do not even allow the scheduling of hearings to start formulating the indictment.

Who can believe if he knows that the Attorney General is being harassed by those convicted of corruption and that they are doing everything to remove him and remove him with excuses, precisely because he took a brave role, formulated charges and achieved convictions in the fight against organized crime and political allies who seek impunity and return to power.

Who can trust that disgraceful administrative and disciplinary body of the judiciary that continues the irregular and questionable process of appointing domestic judges, despite national and international criticism by members of the UN mission.

Who can believe if he knows that this administrative and disciplinary body persecutes good judges who act against corruption and protects corruptible judges who made fools of themselves with their judgments, who worked against the law and remained in office.

Who can believe if there are domestic judges, otherwise not all, who acquit those presumed to be guilty of serious irregularities or drag out proceedings by accepting exemption after exemption against other judges in important cases in which politicians convicted of corruption mock the state.

Who believes if national judges, clearly identified, openly delay processes despite the fact that there are precedents that demolish their arguments. The case of the judge who delays the request for the powers of the Assembly to prosecute the former vice president of the Republic convicted of corruption, when in the previous three cases the legislator declared them inadmissible because the Constitution indicates that these are the powers of the president and vice president. presidents in office, not for former leaders. But this is not the only case. He threw out the process in the oil trials for serious irregularities in the procurement of terrible helicopters, of which 4 fell and 3 crew members were killed, but for that judge, nothing happened. He argued for the postponement of another trial for extortion kidnapping, where another actor from that political sector was convicted.

He favored disreputable and vetted members of the judiciary in another trial for obstruction of justice, who graciously extended his term and whose trial is in his hands, but is delaying the setting of a new date so that indictments can be filed. And to think that this identified judge is applying for the position of president of the National Court of Justice. (OR)
