Ecuador is more concerned about the intense La Niña rains than the alleged impeachment of President Guillermo Lasso. The change in expectations has even been reflected in the reduction of country risk, which has increased due to the power struggle.

Perhaps the deluge brought by Cyclone Yaku is a cosmic sign that invites Ecuadorian society to reflect humbly on its future. In the 44 years of the democratic period, it has been proven that political and institutional stability is a fragile concept, subject to ups and downs that often pass through the eye of the storm.

There is still no date or reason for the impeachment of the President of the Republic, Guillermo Lasso; UNES and PSC are looking for new motivation

IACHR Rapporteur for Ecuador calls for respect for constitutional order and due process before possible impeachment of Guillermo Lasso

To think that a change of president might be for the better is the closest thing to a game of chance where there is more to lose than to gain. But it seems that it is trying to emulate Peru by imposing the powers of the National Assembly on the executive without thinking about the consequences.

What can be predicted is that the Constitutional Court (KS) will reject the admissibility of the upcoming trial. And they will do the right thing. The arguments in support of this are contemptible and insufficiently strong. To the extent that the distinguished former president of the Central Committee called its promoters “constitutionally illiterate”.

Andean UNES parliamentarian Virgilio Hernández follows the dictates of his boss, who is desperate for a comeback. Although the story of “betrayal of the motherland” maintains the rejection of its allies. For now, the Pachakutik and ID blocks are split, resulting in an embarrassing pile of misery.

The president of the AN, Virgilio Saquicela, who should play the role of a fixer in the face of the crisis, encouraging the consideration of his colleagues, returns to his role as a conspiracy activist in an attempt to be a replacement or, at least, gain credit for his re-election.

What has happened is the consequence of politicians’ disconnection with society, which eventually leads to that rivalry that blocks the implementation of the minimal national agenda. In this way, serious problems are solved, insecurity due to organized crime and habitual delinquency, systematic corruption that contaminates the most remote areas of public institutions, and the lack of investments, mainly private, which enable the reactivation of the economy that brings the work that is needed hand in hand.

The young couples who are forced to migrate through the dangerous Darién Gap, with their young children, do not care about this diligent partisanship, whose dysfunctionality causes, as collateral damage, their ignominious expulsion.

The government, for its part, must repeat the act of mea culpa. After two years of management, his main achievements are reduced to the vaccination campaign and a certain stabilization of macroeconomic indicators. The participation of the new minister Henry Cucalón, outside the presidential circle, breathed new energy into the political leadership. A success that needs to be multiplied to consolidate a revamped cabinet that is overcoming its execution deficit. It is the most recommended strategy for dealing with coup challenges. (OR)
