The Legislative Administration Council (CAL) has scheduled a session on March 24 to hear evidence in a complaint filed against assembly member Diana Jácome Silva from the ruling party ADN. The complaint was triggered by remarks allegedly made by Jácome during a National Assembly session on February 5, 2026, where she directed a controversial statement towards the opposition party, Revolución Ciudadana, suggesting they should 'wear a good pajama' in anticipation of potential issues, and referencing a fellow politician's incarceration.

This incident raised significant concerns about the appropriateness of parliamentary discourse, with opposition legislator Juan Andrés González Alvear deeming Jácome's comments as exceeding acceptable boundaries of debate. He contends that such behavior not only undermines the decorum expected in legislative sessions but also contributes to a toxic political climate that hampers constructive dialogue among lawmakers.

The implications of this case extend beyond individual accountability, as it reflects broader challenges facing Ecuador's parliamentary system, where partisan tensions often spill over into personal attacks. The CAL’s upcoming deliberations will shed light on the measures that may be taken to uphold standards of conduct within the assembly, and could potentially set a precedent for how similar cases are addressed in the future.
