Lenses Without Distortion

Mandate Positive Economic Policy 19

She slipped in quiet, camouflaged among a flurry of scores of articles of the constitution adopted, was born in the mist of a sleepy morning, the 23 July, in which assembly asleep, half asleep and awake gave life, unconscious or drunk with power. Very few noticed outside of its existence but it is there, is there to deny that the will of all embracing powers rules that have kidnapped, claims that popular sovereignty no longer resides in the people but the lust for power of those who and those who hold it today. Therefore, with unprecedented impudence, this Mandate 19 recitals begins with an invocation to two decrees (Nos. 2 and 54) issued by the President to say that the Constituent Assembly will be dissolved only when the new constitution is approved in a referendum.

This overlap in order to dissolve the voluntad del pueblo, expresada en el Estatuto que aprobamos en Consulta Popular y que, en cambio, y sin equívoco alguno, estableció en su artículo 2 que “La Asamblea Constituyente tendrá una duración de ciento ochenta (180) días, contados a partir del día de su instalación, salvo que ella misma establezca una prórroga que no podrá exceder de sesenta (60) días contados a partir del vencimiento del plazo inicial”.

El Mandato 19 impone dos dictados presidenciales sobre la voluntad del verdadero soberano; consagra la imposición de dos decretos ejecutivos sobre el resultado de la Consulta Popular que aprobó el Estatuto de Funcionamiento de la Asamblea. Así, en las últimas hours of life, the Assembly autoprorrogó time operating illegally.

Mandate 19, next to 001, will go to the gallery of infamy as one of the most arbitrary acts of the Constituent Assembly completed its work on 25 July. Such abuse of power and assumption of no more objective functions to generate a transitional arrangement leading to the total seizure of power by the Chair. In this booklet, the Mandate 19 plays the role of opening the door for the designation Congresillo finger and from there, on the pretext of transition, name (temporarily) to the authorities of all state functions. Contrary to the Statute we passed 82%, according to this mandate, the Assembly will continue to live until they are proclaimed the referendum results (perhaps by the shame and awareness of the unpresentable of its decision in recess dramatically unless the President decides to convene) . Mandate 19 consumes a monumental abuse of the democratic will of Ecuadorians. Reading it gives anguish, helplessness, disgust of how power can blind those who can not have it. Reveals the absolute obedience of the majority to the project assembly hub Correa.
