00:00The president of Ecuador submitted a new urgent economic bill, which, according to the executive,
00:08is intended to dismantle the criminal economy linked to the internal armed conflict.
00:13Several analysts agree with this, rejecting the document, starting with the fact that
00:17it covers security issues that violate rights, but it is not about economics.
00:28That is to say, it has a series of violations to constitutional guarantees that have been
00:31established, and that have been established with certainty and that come even from centuries
00:35ago.
00:44These are conquests in the matter of guaranteeing the freedoms of the protection of people's
00:47integrity.
00:48This denaturalizes the subject of a bill on matters of economic urgency, that is to say,
00:52yes, it is being misused by the executive for the benefit of complying with the introduction
00:56of this regulation.
01:03Therefore, this project should be filed by the Legislative Administration Council, which
01:09has the decision to decide whether or not this document should be dealt with within the parliament.
01:14For the constitutionalist Alberto Montenegro, the assembly is a body without nuances, without
01:18weights and counterweights, for which reason the project will surely be passed.
01:22I would think that they would try to avoid a pronouncement against it for any other repercussion,
01:32and to avoid any kind of setbacks within the legislature.
01:40It is going to be a state policy.
01:42Everything included in this regulation is going to be the way they are going to act during
01:45all these four years persecuting locking up.
01:47But what are the main points of concern for analysts?
02:00To begin with, this document's articles violate the constitutional right to the inviolability
02:04of the home because if approved, a court order would no longer be required for searches nor
02:09for seizure and confiscation in addition.
02:11This project violates the constitutional presumption of innocence with the introduction of the categories
02:16of suspect or military objective to motivate actions by security agencies.
02:28Practically speaking, this is a step backwards, but they are also measures that by limiting the
02:31exercise of rights.
02:33Another point of concern within this project is that, according to analysts, it will allow
02:50impunity for the national police and the armed forces because they could continue in service,
02:55preventive detention or house arrest while an investigation against them continues.
03:06The public force is going to abuse under any kind of consideration, there will be no limits.
03:19Because the most serious aspect of this law is that the president, in advance or in anticipation,
03:32will issue presidential pardons for those police and military officials who, within the framework
03:36of this law, may disappear or kill citizens.
03:47However, what is a fact for now is that in the next few days, the legislative will announce
03:51whether or not it will approve the urgent economic project.
03:54In case of being approved, the assembly has 30 days to pronounce itself.
