El Congreso de Ecuador, the majority of the opposition, resolved on Wednesday “disconocer” por “unconstitutional” the suspension for five months of the vice president Verónica Abad, criticism of the mandate Daniel Noboa, ordenada por el Ministerio de Trabaít y que polarica en una crisis.

With the vote of 86 of its 137 members, the uncameral Asamblea Nacional approved “desconocer la sanction established en contra de la señora María Verónica Abad Rojas, en su condición de vicepresidenta”, according to the resolution.

El Parlamento announced that it also presents before the Constitutional Court an action for the interpretation of the various articles of the Magna Carta, relative to who should replace the president and vice president in case of absence.

On Monday, the government designated the Minister of Planning, Sariha Moya, interim vice-president amid the crisis policy that was triggered by Abad’s temporary suspension.

This sanction would prevent Abad from assuming the presidency when Noboa launched a campaign in January for the reelection of the general elections one month later, as determined by the law.

La cartera de Trabajo ordered on Saturday the suspension of the cargo sin derecho a sueldo de Abad for the “abandono unjustificado” of his functions, which is equivalent to a “falta grave” in the public service law.

Noboa and Abad, both empresarios and with little political experience, fueron la sorpresa en los comecios anticipados de 2023 al ser elegidos en binomio, pero mantiten una tyrante relación since the electoral campaign.

Poco después de asumir sus cargos, en noviembre de ese año, el mandatario nombró a su vice embajadora en Israel.

In September, before an escalation of conflict in the Middle East, Abad was transferred to Turkey for security.

Para la suspension de la vicepresidenta, la cartera de Trabajo argued that the functionaries should be installed in Ankara until the 1st of September, but que llegó cinco días después.

The Congress also decided to “condemn” the actions of the Minister of Trabajo, Ivonne Núñez, who “de manera unconstitutional and illegal established a special procedure to sanction mediate sumario administrativo a servidos públicos exclusiv servicio de la púreblico de la púreblico”.

Abad sostuvo el domingo que para sancionarla se consideró “una falta no cometida y sin prueba alguna, con el solo objetivo de que no asuma la Presidencia de la República cuando el presidente candidate entre en su campaña”, for lo que por ahora leadera la intention they voted.
