The Plenary of the National Assembly approved the resolution that provides for the appearance of the Minister of the Interior, Patricio Carrillo, with 103 votes.
The reason is to explain the actions to mitigate insecurity, deaths and violence in the Durán canton, province of Guayas, and throughout the national territory.
This request was resolved this Thursday. Before the vote, Assemblyman Jorge Pinto made a comparison about the security situation in Ecuador, in the previous governments and in the current one.
While the legislator Roberto Cuero detailed that, in 2021, Ecuador closed with 2,494 deaths and, so far in 2022, there are already 1,101 deaths.
“One of the biggest that I see is the institutional framework in the security area. The most precious asset that human beings have is life. If we do not take care of the lives of our citizens, what do we have left? Let’s go back to the institutionality we had. Create provincial Security Councils in the territories, so that each mayor and prefect have the opportunity to coordinate what is happening in security », he said.
For his part, the legislator Xavier Jurado indicated that it is worrying how Ecuador unfolds in the context of insecurity. “Security measures must be comprehensive,” he noted.
