The Legislative Administration Council (CAL) in Ecuador convened to discuss the third bid by the Revolución Ciudadana party to initiate a political trial against six members of the Citizen Participation and Social Control Council (CPCCS). The members facing charges included Andrés Xavier Fantoni, Johanna Verdezoto, Jazmín Enríquez, David Rosero, Roberto Gilbert, and Piedad Cuarán, with accusations centering around their alleged failure to fulfill their responsibilities regarding the appointment processes in the Judicial Council and the selection of the new Attorney General of the State.

During the session held on February 9, 2026, the Technical Legislative Unit (UTL) provided a report recommending that CAL dismiss the political trial request. This response marked another setback for the correísmo, which has continually sought to bring scrutiny to the actions of the CPCCS representatives. The refusal of the CAL to take up the request indicates a persistent division within the Ecuadorian political landscape where tensions between established political entities and emerging political movements, such as the Revolución Ciudadana, are palpable.

The implications of this decision extend beyond just this specific case; they reflect the ongoing political struggle in Ecuador as different factions vie for influence and legitimacy. The inability of the Revolución Ciudadana to successfully challenge the CPCCS members raises questions about their strategy moving forward and how they plan to respond to future political and institutional challenges in a rapidly evolving political environment.
