Lasso would apply cross-kill if Parliament persists in blocking his bills

The official won the presidential elections of April this year to the runner-up Andrés Araúz, who had widely won the first round, in which the current president competed closely with the indigenous candidate Yacu Pérez for second place, to enter the ballot.

Cross death is established in the Constitution of the country and establishes that the president can dissolve the Assembly, when, in his opinion, it has assumed functions that do not correspond to him constitutionally, after a favorable opinion of the Constitutional Court; or when it repeatedly and unjustifiably obstructs the execution of the National Development Plan; or by serious political crisis.

In any case, despite the harsh warning, the president indicated that he will exhaust the dialogues with the Assembly.

On the other hand, he met with the President of the National Assembly, Guadalupe Llori, to discuss his labor reform project (Opportunity Creation Law), which was returned to him on September 29 by the Board of Directors of the Legislature (CAL), without being discussed in the Plenary of the Assembly.

Lasso also warned the legislature that his government will not hand over companies by vote, and will not promote impunity or corruption.

“I have to maintain an attitude out of respect for the Ecuadorians of absolute tolerance to send the new laws and if they take me to the stage that they do not approve any, then obviously the crossed death ″, the president sentenced.

The CAL returned to the Executive the project, which originally included labor and tax reforms and regulations for attracting capital, arguing that the reforms, by containing various topics, violated constitutional principles.

After the return of the so-called Opportunity Creation Law, Lasso plans to forward it to the Legislature but fragmenting it: two urgent laws on tax and labor matters, which will go to the Assembly next week, and an Investment Law, which will go later.

The president also affirmed that in the bills that will go to the Assembly, he has established changes in the articles that generated controversy.
