Verónica Abad crossed Daniel Noboa, elected in November 2023, for not allowing him to recover his functions in the Executive Branch.
Argentina is not the only country where there are internal candidates in the presidential formula: In Ecuador, Daniel Noboa decided to displace Vice President Verónica Abadand now the official accuses him of consummating “ a coup d’état“and try”against democracy” in the country. In addition, he dated the beginning of a dictatorship from January 5 of next year.
The conflict began in November, when the Ecuadorian Ministry of Labor, by order of Noboa, decided to suspend the vice president from her duties for 150 days without remuneration due to a ”unjustified abandonment of work for three or more consecutive work days”.
The accusation points out that Abbot -who also She is Ecuador’s ambassador to Israel– did not appear at the Ecuadorian embassy in Türkiye on September 1, as scheduled. It wasn’t until five business days later that the official went to the scene, which is why they decreed that ”abandonment of work”. This transfer to Turkish territory arose in the context of the increase in tension in Gaza, for security reasons.

In recent days, the Judge Nubia Vera accepted a protection action filed by the vice president, where she understood that the government’s previous decisions Abad’s constitutional rights were violateddue process and legal security. Despite this, the official was unable to access her office in the Vice Presidency building: she found herself police fences, military cordon and blocked doors. Furthermore, they did not allow him passage when he requested it.
Verónica Abad’s complaint to Daniel Noboa
In this context, the vice president issued a statement in which she seeks to “denounce what in effect constitutes the consumation of the announced coup d’état and attack against democracy in Ecuador, since the gross violation of the Constitutional order is the prelude to install a dictatorship on January 5, 2025“.
After that warning, Abad details that “once the ruling was issued in my favor, before noon, I went to the vice presidential office to continue with my duties. However, Due to the actions of the Military House ordered by the President of the Republic, as I was informed on the site, I was prevented, along with my defense attorney, from accessing the building.“.
“While at the door of the Vice Presidency we faced the abuse of the Armed Forces, behind and reactively the President of the Republic has issued Executive Decree 490 against all logic and reason,” he points out and specifies that the provision “It is a new insult to Ecuadorians, seeking my exile to Türkiye immediately.”
Furthermore, it states that “I have survived infamous persecutions, I have been the victim of the unthinkable; […] The most innocent members of my family have had to endure painful humiliations.” Likewise, it requests different international institutions and organizations to “act immediately in order to safeguard the rule of law and democracy.”
Finally, he analyzes that “in the face of the abuse of power and authoritarianism, I extend a fraternal hug to the Ecuadorian people, and my gratitude for their tireless support and solidarity.” “We have lost our fear and we are not alone in this journey. we will prevail“he concludes.
