The Metastasis case confirmed that corruption has infiltrated the courts, which is the most serious thing that can happen to a society; This is doubled because this penetration also includes drug trafficking. This does not allow for any other solution than the reorganization of the judiciary. Unfortunately, Julio César Trujillo’s transitional council failed in this, since the member in charge of this reorganization could not fulfill his task.

What the Judicial Council is doing today, with the president at the helm instead of the one now imprisoned, is actually nothing more than a rag of hot water that leaves evil free.

‘just in case’

What the plaintiff has done will be incomplete if she does not use the favorable environment that exists among the citizens to support her management to eliminate what is affected by gangrene. The case of Metastaza crudely showed that organized crime does not escape the principle of joined vessels: when they are not the same perpetrators, it is the same lawyers or the same bribed judges who protect the crime using, mainly, the misuse of habeas resources. corpus and granting freedom and against execution penalties.

There is no other way to reorganize the judicial function other than authorization from the sovereign, the people, through a popular consultation convened by the President of the Republic; Any other consultation on the matter will be ineffective.

With Metastasis, Ecuador took a transcendental step. This powerful blow against the drug trade is the result of months of painstaking work to weave a web of strong ropes that resists attempts to break it.

Moral decline and revival

This coup d’état was conceived, developed and executed by the State Prosecutor, Diana Salazar, and her team, with the cooperation of the National Police; Therefore, everyone, domestic and foreign, will aim their guns at the Attorney General, bearing in mind that the most dangerous bullets are not always those of the visible enemy.

I say this in connection with the fact that one of the most prominent bearers of public opinion has warned that the chief state attorney could become an embassy, ​​which would mean the deadly bankruptcy of this struggle that has enraged the citizens and the destruction of her image; Popularity is a soap bubble that can burst at the slightest prick. Let’s hope that the prosecutor will turn a deaf ear to the threats and the sound of sirens.

There is a history of reorganization: in 2005, when the congressional majority dissolved the Supreme Court and replaced it with another one, derogatorily called “Pichi’s Court”, which was short-lived, because the people of Ecuador, in Quito, ignored it, even overthrowing the Government and giving reasons for the formation of a committee of independent citizens chosen by a very distinguished Court. The judiciary was closed for several months, but it was worth it. Later, that Court was replaced by a new political order, which, in its own words, “got a hand on justice” and chaos ensued. (OR)
