Ecuadorian Contentious Electoral Tribunal Actions Against Amigo Movement and Pabel Muñoz
The Contentious Electoral Tribunal (TCE) has suspended the Amigo political movement, a decision publicly condemned by Quito Mayor Pabel Muñoz and Pichincha Prefect Paola Pabón as a threat to democratic stability and pluralism.
