“Let’s face it, we have a package of constitutional crapmendments, people are demanding to file them or to convene a referendum.” Thus, the former president of the Constituent Assembly, Alberto Acosta, expressed with regard to the constitutional amendments and the transitional provision, endorsed by the government, which in its main axis introduces indefinite reelection, to which the Constitution of Montecristi opposes. Securing power, controlling other functions of the state, “(Rafael) Correa wants to perpetuate in power, he even wants to project himself in some kind of an Andean (Vladimir) Putin, because he is seeking his successor and is planning to return in 2021.”

For Acosta, not only the indefinite reelection it´s at stake, the same that not been resolved with these dirty tricks, with this move of Alianza País, but there are other issues of concern such as establishing communication as a public service, when this is a civil right; establishing the involvement of the armed forces in the fight against organized crime, which is now done through the Emergency Decrees; such as reducing the rights of the workers; reducing the rights of citizens to promote a public consultation; reducing functions of the Decentralized Autonomous Governments (GAD), including the issue of the referendum; reducing the powers_ of the Comptroller to control the use of public resources, in that sense we have -let us speak clear-a package of constitutional `crapmendments´ that people are demanding to be filed or to convene a referendum.”
