Ecuador VP files gender violence complaint against Noboa

Ecuador’s VP Speaks Out Against Gender Violence by Noboa

Abad said Noboa was a “macho and misogynist” person

Ecuador’s Vice President, Verónica Abad, has filed a political gender violence complaint against President Daniel Noboa with Quito’s Electoral Court (TCE). This move comes after Abad’s recent transfer to Ankara, following ongoing tensions between the two leaders.

The complaint, filed on August 8, alleges mistreatment and restrictions on Abad’s duties and freedoms by Noboa, as well as targeting other government officials. The situation has sparked a debate on political gender violence in Ecuador’s democracy, with potential sanctions for the accused.

In response, Noboa’s party has agreed to participate in the upcoming elections, while Abad stands firm in her criticism of Noboa’s behavior. The conflict highlights deeper issues of power dynamics and gender bias in Ecuadorian politics.
