Ecuadorian Parliament to investigate Villavicencio’s assassination

Quito, Nov 29 (Prensa Latina) The National Assembly (Parliament) of Ecuador will create an occasional commission to investigate the assassination of Presidential Candidate Fernando Villavicencio, local media reported on Wednesday.

The working group was approved by 134 votes, in agreement with the Construye Movement (Builds Movement), which promoted Villavicencio’s candidacy for October’s extraordinary elections.

Construye described the decision as a significant step in the search for truth and justice.

However, the Parliament has not yet established the details about the composition of this occasional investigative commission.

Villavicencio was assassinated on August 9, 2023, while leaving a campaign rally in a school in northern Bogota.
