In a recent interview, Assemblywoman Gisela Garzón, a leading figure in the Citizens' Revolution (RC), addressed the position of her movement before the Constitutional Court after the contradictory statements of its leaders.
While former dictator Rafael Correa described the Court as a “sewer,” Viviana Veloz, president of the National Assembly, expressed confidence in its institutionality.
Whenasked about this apparent contradiction, Garzón answered that they “independently hold political positions” and acknowledged that there are “closed debates” on these issues within the movement
.The legislator stressed that State institutions are “politicized” by nature, although she added that they are not necessarily partisan. However, he admitted that within RC “we have always thought differently” and that decisions are made “organically”.
