President Daniel Noboa has made an agreement with the Citizen Revolution and with the Christian Social Party, the same agreement that caused an avalanche against President Guillermo Lasso until forcing him to betray the agreement and begin the political ordeal that led him to cut his mandate. With Noboa the criticism has been benign.
It has been called the “pact of silence” because the terms are secret. We do not know if the agreement is only to form the legislative authorities or is a governance agreement to approve some laws; Nor do we know if the agreement makes the consultation unnecessary or if it is maintained. The absence of information authorizes speculation.
Noboa could build a majority with the anti-correism that gave him victory, but it is difficult to make agreements with groups that cannot even among themselves, as demonstrated by the breakup of the heirs of Fernando Villavicencio, despite calling themselves “construye” and “good people.” . Apparently, it is easier to negotiate with blocks that do not belong to “good people.”
The political parties of Rafael Correa and Jaime Nebot know what they want, they comply with what they agree to and have no dissidents. Their problem is that they have many enemies and bad press because they are suspected of promoting impunity. Certain dubious indications fuel these fears.
It seems that the impeachment of Prosecutor Diana Salazar is not part of the agreement, but it does not prevent the citizen revolution from starting the trial and getting enough votes for censure in other blocks. The surprising and late questioning of the Comptroller’s election could be another element of the pact.
“If we do not appoint the comptroller, let’s overthrow the process and appoint a comptroller by mutual agreement,” could be the basis for inserting judges and protections into the process. Saving or condemning the colorful president of the Judicial Council could be another element of the agreement. In any case it will not last long, the start of the electoral campaign will kill the pact.
