The habeas data hearing for Alexandra Villacís, who formerly served as a substitute member under the censured head of the Council of the Judiciary, Mario Godoy, has been rescheduled to March 23, 2026. Initially set for March 18, the virtual hearing was delayed following requests from the Ministry of Labor and the Attorney General's Office, as announced by Villacís in a statement. The case has been assigned to Judge Jeanneth Pila Avendaño, located in Iñaquito, Quito.

Villacís seeks to rectify a restriction within the Ministry of Labor's system that prevents her from fulfilling her duties as an official in the Judiciary. This impediment has hindered her ability to hold both alternate and full member positions within the council. Highlighting the prolonged nature of this situation, Villacís mentioned on her social media that it has been over 36 days without any administrative action taken regarding her request, expressing frustration at the delay in addressing her legal challenges.

The outcome of this habeas data case could have significant implications for Villacís's political career and the operations of the Council of the Judiciary in Ecuador. Given the ongoing discussions surrounding judicial integrity and public administration in the country, the decision on March 23 will likely attract attention and scrutiny from various stakeholders, underscoring the intricate intersection of law and politics in Ecuadorian governance.
