The president of Ecuador, the conservative William Lassodecreed this Wednesday in the middle of the impeachment trial against him, dissolve the National Assembly (Parliament)with an opposition majority, and call early general elections, so that he will govern by decree until his successor takes office.
In a message to the nation, Lasso announced this measure, contemplated in the Ecuadorian Constitution of 2008, for the “serious internal and political commotion” who lives in the country
The presidential decision comes after he appeared before the Assembly on Tuesday to make his defense argument against the accusation made by the opposition for an alleged crime of embezzlement (embezzlement).
The president used to dissolve the Chamber what is called the “death cross“, a legal figure that can be adopted for this purpose, and not wait for the debate that was to take place in Parliament to later vote on a motion of no confidence.
The approval of the motion of no confidence to dismiss the Head of State would have required 92 votes, equivalent to two thirds of the hemicycle.
