As Ecuador approaches the Carnival holiday, the Oversight Commission of the National Assembly is scheduled to assess the political trial report against Mario Godoy, the president of the Council of the Judiciary. The session, called by Commission president Ferdinan Álvarez, will take place on the evening of February 13, 2026. The commission members are expected to convene in person to discuss the recommendations regarding Godoy's political trial following the comprehensive evidence presented during the investigative phase.

However, the commission is contemplating requesting an additional five-day extension from the Assembly president, Niels Olsen, to finalize the report. This request stems from the large volume of information submitted during the testimony phase, which has complicated the preparation of a concise and informed report. If granted, this extension would push the submission deadline for the report to February 18, 2026, enabling the commission to better deliberate on Godoy's fate.

The outcome of this process holds significant implications for the judiciary system's integrity in Ecuador, coinciding with ongoing concerns about political accountability and transparency. As the commission deliberates, it will face scrutiny from both the public and political actors, eager to understand the ramifications of this trial for the judiciary and governance in Ecuador.
