‘Mr. donkey’ will be involved in Ecuadorian politics, but this time will do so as a critical observer of the new National Assembly. This animal made his appearance for the first time in November when he ‘tried’ to register his candidacy for the Assembly in the delegation of the Electoral National Council (CNE) in Guayas.
Currently his account on social networking site Twitter @DonBurroReal, exceeds 44 000 followers.
“We must wait before giving opinions about the subject,” said Daniel Molina, his spokesman, who decided not to comment about the new integration of the Legislative entity: with the majority formed by Alianza Pais (100 of 137 seats).
However, he exposes enthusiastically plans of ‘ Don donkey ‘, who will publish a book, a web page, will give lectures to young people in schools and universities, and will be present during the sectional elections in 2014.
The ´character’ will monitor and supervise the new legislators. ” Before they did what they wanted, they didn’t show, they didn’t introduce drafts of legislation; but now there is Don Burro, there is a thinking citizen,”said Molina.
Once the website is ready they will expose the legislators who are not fulfilling their role. Then they will ask them via Twitter the motives of their actions. And finally they will review the issue of revocation of mandate.
