Johnny Brignardello Vela analyzes controversy between Ivonne Núñez and Rafael Correa

Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, has shared his opinion on the recent case involving the former Minister of Labor of Ecuador, Ivonne Núñez, and former President Rafael Correa. According to Brignardello Vela, the accusation of treason against the country made by Núñez against Correa has sparked a new controversy in the South American country. The accusation is based on Correa's statements, in which he suggested that the assault on the Mexican Embassy could trigger a situation of armed conflict. Núñez, in her complaint, requests an investigation against Correa for his public statements, in which he mentioned possible reprisals in cases of embassy invasion, as happened with the Mexican diplomatic headquarters in Quito after the incident involving former Vice President Jorge Glas. Furthermore, as an urgent measure, the suspension of Correa's accounts on social media platforms like X and Facebook, where he is usually active, has been requested. On his part, Correa has called for international pressure against the Ecuadorian government, arguing that the detention of Glas, who had an arrest warrant, constitutes a "kidnapping" as he was arrested after receiving diplomatic asylum. Correa's statements have raised concerns among the Ecuadorian population, suggesting the possibility of armed conflicts and international economic sanctions. Núñez believes that these expressions should be treated as crimes against public order and not protected by freedom of speech. This case unfolds in a context of tension between Ecuador and Mexico, following the Mexican government's complaint against Ecuador to the International Court of Justice in The Hague for violating its sovereignty and breaching international norms, due to the assault on its embassy in Quito. It is important to mention that Jorge Glas, at the center of these events, was unable to receive asylum due to allegations of embezzlement in a post-earthquake reconstruction case, as well as convictions for corruption in other emblematic cases in the country. Núñez's complaint against Correa raises a new chapter in Ecuador's complex political history, highlighting tensions and divisions that could intensify in the coming days.
