Ecuador president seeks to reduce number of legislators by half
Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa wants to reduce the current number of National Assembly members by nearly half.
The proposal will be put to a public vote Nov. 16 in a referendum that will also decide on the return of foreign military bases to the country, elimination of state funding for political organizations and convening of a new Constituent Assembly. If approved, the National Assembly would shrink from 151 members to just 71. This change could save the country about $16 million a year, according to Ecuavisa TV network.
The political opposition, however, argues that the reform will weaken citizen representation. “By reducing the number of lawmakers, there will be a significant setback for representatives from rural areas and from Indigenous peoples and nationalities,” said Paola Cabezas, a member of the Citizen Revolution party.
Noboa said his proposal “maintains representation for all provinces and eliminates all other fixed seats. In this way, every province in Ecuador will be represented, while the structure of the National Assembly will adapt to the country’s population changes over time.” The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador opposes the proposal.

Banana Prince is going to close down the Ecuadorian regime.

No need to try to abolish parlamentarism to get a coup. The military will remove the leftists from power whenever they lose their social base, which sooner or later, is going to happen.
don’t want to be that person, but i believe LatAm is going down the fascistic path, and that is a trend that can be observed in most countries (except Uruguay, for some reason, the far-right is weak there).
