#LAENTREVISTA | ALEXANDRA VILLACÍS ROMPE EL SILENCIO: LA POSESIÓN FRUSTRADA EN LA JUDICATURA

Why was she unable to assume the Presidency of the Council of the Judiciary? What really happened with the alleged impediment related to the Internal Revenue Service (SRI)? In this exclusive interview with La Defensa, lawyer Alexandra Villacís speaks for the first time since the incident that prevented her from taking office as head of the body that governs the Judiciary. Villacís explains: • How she learned of the employment impediment related to alleged tax debts • What explanation she initially received from the authorities • Why the SRI subsequently issued a certificate of no outstanding debts • The decision to withdraw the protective action with precautionary measures • The impact this episode had on the institutional integrity of the Council of the Judiciary • The lessons this case offers regarding vetting and verification processes for high-ranking officials She also responds to the accusations made by legislators from the National Democratic Action (ADN) party, who spoke of an alleged attempt at political control of the judiciary. Was it an administrative error, an institutional failure, or an incident with deeper political implications? A direct conversation about justice, transparency, and the delicate balance of power in present-day Ecuador.
