Pachakutik will try reinstating to Jiménez to the Assembly

During the agenda of the Plenary Assembly, which takes place at this time in the National Assembly, members of opposition and Pachakutik will try to incorporate the theme of Cléver Jimenez and the designation of Milton Gualán as main Assemblyman.

This, after On Tuesday, the Legislative Council of Administration (CAL) Jimenez dismissed for having been criminally sentenced to 18 months in prison for having insulted to the president Rafael Correa and resolved the designation of Milton Gualán as main Assemblyman.

This action was not accepted by Pachakutik party to which belongs Jiménez, nor by Gualán. To Rosana Alvarado, vice president of the Assembly, the decision cannot be reversed.

Meanwhile, lawmakers from CREO, SUMA and PSC have joined the rejection of CAL’s decision and questioned that the Government does not adopt the request for precautionary measures that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) extended for Jimenez.
