For the assembly members of the provinces of Loja and El Oro

The author appeals to the assembly members from Loja and El Oro for support in implementing an urgent economic law for southern border provinces in Ecuador.

In a letter addressed to the assembly members from the provinces of Loja and El Oro, the author reflects on the lack of personal acquaintance with these representatives but expresses hope for their understanding and action regarding legislative matters crucial for the southern border of Ecuador. They mention a previous situation where an organic law for revenue participation was approved by the National Assembly but later vetoed by the president due to constitutional concerns, highlighting the complexities of legal processes in the country.

The letter also references legislation from 2018, specifically the Organic Law of Border Development, which had been presented to the Assembly but was connected to prior objections raised by the president in 2012. The author calls upon the current president, Daniel Noboa, to submit a new urgent economic project to the Assembly, suggesting that it would once again focus on addressing the economic challenges faced by the border regions, which have remained unresolved.

The implications of this appeal are significant, considering the critical role that economic laws play in the development and support of border regions, which often lag behind in comparison to other areas of the country. By urging these representatives and the president to take action, the author aims to bring attention to the needs of these provinces and promote legislative initiatives that could enhance their economic wellbeing and integrate them more fully into national progress.
