A technical team from the Citizen Participation and Social Control Council (CPCCS) will review the file of Jorge Espinoza Espinoza, the deputy delegate from the Legislative Function to the citizen selection commission overseeing the attorney general contest.
On March 18, 2026, the Citizen Participation and Social Control Council (CPCCS) announced that a technical team will review the file of Jorge Espinoza Espinoza, the alternate delegate of the Legislative Function involved in the selection commission for the Attorney General contest. This review comes after the Secretariat of the National Assembly sent an official communication regarding Espinoza's files.
The citizen selection commission had recently completed its review of the applications from 75 candidates vying for the Attorney General position and is now focusing on ensuring that the actions of the commission members are transparent and validated. This move indicates a step toward maintaining integrity in the selection process within Ecuador's legal framework.
Jorge Espinoza was appointed as the alternate delegate at the beginning of February, receiving the support of 81 votes from the National Assembly's plenary session. This review could have significant implications, particularly if any irregularities are discovered in his appointment or in the commission's work, affecting the larger context of Ecuador's governance and legal system.
