The Revolución Ciudadana (RC) party has announced its intention to initiate an impeachment trial against the four members of Ecuador's Council of the Judiciary. This development comes on the heels of Mario Godoy's resignation from the presidency of the Council, which happened just a day before he was set to be subjected to an impeachment vote in the National Assembly. The resignation was viewed as a response to mounting pressure and allegations surrounding his conduct.

Assembly member Viviana Veloz highlighted the accountability that the four Council members—Magaly Ruiz, Alfredo Cuadros, Fabián Fabara, and temporary president Damian Larco—must face due to their actions and potential complicity with Godoy. These allegations are supported by substantial evidence, including documentation and testimony from judges Carlos Serrano and Christian Fierro, which Veloz argues necessitate political accountability before the Assembly.

The resolution to proceed with impeachment reflects broader dissatisfaction among the public and political groups with the current state of the judiciary in Ecuador. It underscores a growing climate of political turbulence where legal and ethical standards are increasingly scrutinized, and officials are held responsible for their actions, indicating a critical moment in Ecuador's political landscape.
