In addition, the entity once again called Noboa’s attention
The Constitutional Court declared unconstitutional the state of emergency decree signed by President Daniel Noboa on April 30 in El Oro, Guayas, Los Ríos, Manabí and Santa Elena to mobilize soldiers to those provinces.
The constitutional lawyer, Jose Chalcoexplained that now this state of exception “is not valid in the territorial area where it was intended to be established.”
The Plenary Session of the Constitutional Court took this majority decisionwho agreed that the President did not justify the configuration of the cause of internal armed conflict. In addition, they consider that it is not justified how the violence that the Government argues cannot be combated with the ordinary constitutional regime.
There were two votes saved from the judges Carmen Corral and Teresa Nuques.
Another wake-up call
Furthermore, the entity called Noboa’s attention again for failing to comply with the requirements provided for in the Constitution for the declaration of a state of emergency.
It is the second time that Noboa receives this court reprimand. The first was due to the state of emergency in the context of the energy crisis. The President did not provide “sufficient information to justify the declaration” of the same.
On April 30, Noboa decreed a state of emergency in the provinces of El Oro, Guayas, Los Ríos, Manabí and Santa Elena within the framework of the persistence of the internal armed conflict, according to a application of the Ministry of Defense.
This emergency declaration was valid for 60 days and provided for the inviolability of the home.
