On Twitter, Correa warned that the elimination of the political force corresponding to List 5 is «illegal and untimely.»
Subsequently, the social network did not wait to see the expressions of support for the political movement and the rejection of its banning, which, in the opinion of many, is part of a strategy organized by the national government to prevent the former president from participating in the upcoming general and legislative elections agreed upon in February 2021.
«They want to disappear @CompromisoRC5, the most supportive political movement in the country and we are not going to allow it, because it is the option that gives back hope of better days for our children,» said Vanessa Freire, national president of that group.
On her side, the singer-songwriter Marisol Bowen said that «delegitimizing @CompromisoRC5, which has participated in three electoral processes violates the Constitution and democracy. Violating an entire country just for fear of one man? They may have written the most shameful part of history, but they will not stop us.»
The former president himself added to his complaint: «Democracy is dying in Ecuador! The CNE under threat from the Comptroller and Minister of Government’.
