Ecuador: This is not my president
As I write this note, he 7/04/10, the CNE (National Electoral Council) It not yet issued the report of the election results of the process called the 24/03/19. Conversely, just call new elections 5 provinces of Ecuador, by numerical inconsistencies (fraud).
These elections mark an unfortunate experience for the same bourgeois democracy which repeats the mistakes that caused the disintegration of the regime, I finish pulverizing the credibility of state institutions and allowed the call to the Constituent Assembly 2007. (10 presidents 10 years 1996-2007)
The conservative restoration plaguing Ecuador, She has been achieved in near 2 years, re des institutionalizing the State, through a series of unconstitutional measures including the country they determined to initiate a series of reforms without the approval of the Constitutional Court, which it was stopped illegally by the Transitional Council for Citizen Participation, handpicked by Moreno, what, inclusive, It has been challenged by international observers (OAS), Qualifying this resolution the president and the elites as illegal and illegitimate.
It should be noted that the restructuring of the State illegitimately, It has allowed the government to cease its functions to the Attorney General, constitutional Court, Judicial Council, State Comptroller, Attorney's Office, Nationalize assembly., etc., etc….
It should be noted that the direction of these features characters characterized by its links to the right of the country was placed, production chambers and elements very close to the rightwing parties especially the PSC, that took control illegitimately most state functions, those used, as the case of the last elections for mounting obvious frauds originated by public pressure, to call new elections in several provinces.
If the deconstruction of the regime is expressed in this institutional chaos, the government has taken a series of measures to gradually become a pressure cooker starting to show signs boiling, especially under pressure from the poor sectors of the population affected by the irrational actions taken by the government and elites, the unconditional support of the gringo embassy, which has become the right hand of government.
Last Friday the National Congress was held FUT (United Workers' Front), taking as resolution convening a national strike, demanding the breakdown of negotiations with the IMF, reinstatement of the dismissed thousands of workers, cease to layoffs in the public sector, rejection of the labor reform that aims to return to hourly contracts and other forms of job insecurity, rejection of the privatization of Social Security and the budget increase for health and education.
At this resolution convening the National Assembly also adds Fenocin, and the Federation of Municipalities of Ecuador, They are proposing to develop a platform to combat the presence of the IMF, as well as demanding solution to the agrarian crisis, industry affected by the withdrawal of subsidies to poor farmers, the elimination of agricultural insurance that just allowed the damages suffered by farmers for environmental damages, but, above all by the lack of price controls supporting agricultural production and opening up borders to foreign products that compete unfairly with domestic production.
Moreno days seem numbered, especially by the accumulation of popular discontent over anti appeasement measures and, what has added allegations of corruption by its links with offshore companies, in which millions of dollars were deposited product bribes from Chinese contractors, and they have allowed a life of king for him and his family, while in Ecuador, navigating with the speech of sacrifice and austerity for working people.
