The Oversight Commission of the National Assembly in Ecuador is scheduled to convene on Friday, February 13, at 20:30 to review a report concerning the request for a political trial against Mario Godoy, the president of the Council of the Judiciary. The session, called by the commission's president Ferdinan Álvarez from the ADN party, will be held in person. Godoy faces allegations of failing to fulfill his responsibilities, stemming from accusations by five lawmakers from the Revolutionary Citizenry (RC) party.

The political accusations against Mario Godoy involve alleged interference in judicial proceedings, which includes accusations of conflicts of interest and a failure to protect judges. Specific allegations suggest Godoy exerted undue influence over judicial matters, particularly towards judge Nubia Vera, during a legal protection action. This raises significant concerns regarding the integrity and impartiality of Ecuador's judiciary system.

As the Oversight Commission prepares to articulate its findings and implications following this political trial, the outcome may significantly influence public trust in judicial processes and governmental accountability in Ecuador. The political implications could extend beyond Godoy, as this trial highlights the broader issues of judicial independence and the interplay between the executive and legislative branches in Ecuadorian governance.
