The carnival holiday was extended for the plenary session of the National Assembly. The president of the legislature, Guadalupe Llori, did not call plenary sessions for this week, which sparked new criticism from her opponents who are analyzing the possibility of calling themselves.
The situation of the president of the Parliament is complex, the political sectors such as Union for Hope (UNES), which has 48 wills as well as the Social Christian Party with 14 legislators and the self-styled Pachakutik rebel group, which according to their spokesmen group up to ten assembly members, stand by their decision to submit the entire Legislative Administration Council (CAL), chaired by Guadalupe Llori, to an evaluation. Added these three political groups would have 72 wills.
The reasons that led these groups to put together a common front, according to their detractors, is the lack of qualification of the bills proposed by UNES and Pachakutik regarding the repeal of the tax law, in force since November 2021, and the qualification of the requests for impeachment against the new majority of the Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control (CPCCS).
In the midst of these discrepancies, the Executive sent the urgent economic investment bill to the National Assembly and at the moment there are discordant positions between the legislative blocks and modifications are noted. The deadline for processing expires in three weeks, on March 24.
The president of the legislature, in a message issued on the night of March 1, blamed the UNES, PSC and a sector of Pachakutik for trying to sow confusion and chaos in the National Assembly that seeks to control it to impose a CPCCS that appoints the comptroller, attorney and attorney general of the State. That is the hidden intention and she said that she is not afraid of them and that she is willing to face them.
Guadalupe Llori: I am here to face them, I am not afraid of them
The Pachakutik legislator, Salvador Quishpe, admitted that there are problems in the Assembly and also errors such as not approving the motion to file the tax law, since even his co-ideas joined the Correismo position, as well as in the motion of censure of the Bank Superintendent, Ruth Arregui, when some of Pachakutik voted against it.
For this legislator, there are political sectors that, taking advantage of these errors, want to achieve the path to materialize their desire to obtain the State Comptrollership through the co-option of the CPCCS.
That from Pachakutik they are asking for corrections to Guadalupe Llori, he noted, but that does not mean joining the opponents to remove her from office. “For those who learned the attitudes of Fabián Alarcón, today dressed as Saquicela, to come up, we do not agree with it,” she replied.
Quishpe affirmed that the decision to continue with Guadalupe Llori has been made. He obviously has made mistakes and some complicated undervalues ​​and almost almost falling, but he personally is here to shake hands, but with the other hand asking for corrections in the National Assembly. “We are asking that the process of the law repealing the tax law be given as soon as possible,” said the national representative.
self-summoning
For legislator Ronny Aleaga (UNES), President Guadalupe Llori, in a message dated March 2, is out of focus, because accusing her of destabilization, hiding behind alleged persecution, and affirming that she wants to put her hand in the designation of the authorities of control has no basis, especially in an Assembly where today the political forces agree that an evaluation of the CAL be carried out.
“Today the political forces of the majority that insist on the misconduct of the National Assembly do not understand why to this day, without there being a case of force majeure or fortuitous event, President Guadalupe Llori insists on calling the sessions virtually, which shows that he is afraid, “said Aleaga.
He spoke that in the CAL session, convened for this March 2, most of the issues constitute political persecution of opponents, because more than five complaints are processed against assembly members who do not agree with his leadership. He asked that Llori show his face and call the plenary session to integrate the evaluation commission.
In the event that the non-convocation to plenary sessions persists, he did not rule out proposing the application of article 5 of the Organic Law of the Legislative Function to self-convene a plenary session, for which they will need 92 votes.
PSC assemblyman Esteban Torres specified that it was illegal to convene a plenary session virtually for Saturday, February 26, at 10:00 p.m., when days before a regulation was approved so that there would be no virtual sessions, so they decided not to give quorum. Now it is surprising, he added, that there are no plenary sessions called. The possibility of a self-convocation is present in the law, therefore it is not ruled out, he said.
He indicated that more than the change of legislative authorities, the evaluation in which no one can oppose is necessary, even more so when there are conducts that have been questioned in the CAL.
He revealed that they are behind the people who would have ordered that the plenary session be left without electricity, without the computer system, the voting system and without microphones in the February 24 session, and warned that there will be surprises because there are officials outside the Assembly , as officials of the Presidency, who would have acted at that time. All this cannot remain up in the air, asserted the Tungurahua representative. (I)
