The Economic Development Commission completed the final report for the second debate of the National Solidarity Law this Saturday. The session was held in person and will be debated in the Plenary later tonight, paving the way for its eventual definitive approval.
This urgent project was sent by President Daniel Noboa and received contributions not only from the ruling party but also from dissident legislators from Correísmo. Noboa's strategy demonstrates an ability to build consensus even with opposition sectors.
The new version of the law contains key measures: higher penalties for crimes such as fuel trafficking, faster seizures, asset controls for law enforcement, and tax benefits for security donors. The Commission also proposed comprehensive protection for vulnerable communities. Assemblyman Sergio Peña, expelled from Correísmo for his vote in favor of the project, once again supported the final report. "This is not just any text, it's a State policy," he commented at the close of the session. This type of stance weakens the narrative of radical socialism, which was left internally divided.
