Assemblywoman Diana Jácome is processed in the CAL for recommending the Correista bench to 'wear good pajamas'

Legislator Diana Jácome faces disciplinary proceedings after making derogatory remarks towards the opposing 'Revolución Ciudadana' party during a parliamentary session.

The Legislative Administration Council (CAL) unanimously decided to process a complaint against Assemblywoman Diana Jácome for verbal aggression and recommending the opposition group 'Revolución Ciudadana' to 'wear good pajamas'. The complaint was filed by legislator Juan Andrés González, who claims that Jácome's comments exceeded the bounds of acceptable parliamentary debate and involved personal attacks and threats.

González recounted that during the plenary session on February 5, 2026, Jácome suggested that the opposition might benefit from wearing pajamas, referencing the possibility of jail time as she mentioned Wilman Terán, suggesting that the opposition had aided in his situation. This comment was condemned by González, who emphasizes the importance of maintaining respect and decorum within legislative discussions.

This incident raises questions about the tone of political discourse in Ecuador’s legislature and the boundaries of acceptable commentary in parliamentary debate. The repercussions for Jácome could set a precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future, highlighting the ongoing tensions between different political factions in the country.
