What position did the former presidents of Ecuador take?
The former president of Ecuador Rafael Correa (2007-2017) maintained that the “cross death” decreed by the current president through a message on social networks is illegal, where he questioned the argument of “serious political and internal commotion” used by Lasso to resort to this constitutional figure.
“What Lasso is doing is illegal. Obviously, there is no ‘internal commotion’. He just couldn’t buy enough assemblymen to save himself. In any case, this is a great opportunity to get rid of Lasso, his government and his assemblymen for rent. , and recover the homeland,” wrote Correa.
Along these lines, the Citizen Revolution (RC) movement, led by the former Ecuadorian president, rejected the measure.
Marcela Holguin, who belongs to the parliamentary group of Union for Hope (UNES, which covers RC), assured in a press conference that Lasso’s decision to invoke the so-called “cross death” could fall into illegality because it does not comply with the grounds to be invoked.
“The decree issued this morning by President Guillermo Lasso is illegal”, since “neither internal commotion nor a serious political crisis” has been registered in the country, “added the correÃsta legislator.
For his part, the former president Lenin Moreno (2017-2021), who works in Asunción as commissioner of the Organization of American States (OAS) for Disability Affairs, requested unity, humility and detachment after the current president decreed the option protected by the Ecuadorian Constitution.
Via social networks, the former president assured that “it’s citizen time” and asked for a “cool head” so that the electoral triumph of CorreÃsmo in the last local elections on February 5 is not repeated.
He also considered that it is necessary to “understand the moment, privilege what is truly important: freedom, democracy, institutionality, respect and citizen well-being.”
“For this, it is required (it is a condition, not an option): unity, organization, synchronicity and, above all, humility and detachment. We are clear about it or we repeat what happened in February,” he said.
