In declarations to Radio Morena, Abad considered himself a ‘victim of lawfare’ and questioned the actions of the Executive against him.

Last week, Noboa affirmedOK he will make a decision in accordance with the Constitution in order to be able to participate in the elections of 2025 without entrusting power to the vice president.

In an interview, the president declared that Abad -who is now ambassador in Israel- ‘will leave the vice-presidency on her own’.

“I believe that in the end everything falls by its own weight,” said the president, who referred to Abad’s recent statements about a possible pardon for former president Rafael Correa (2007-2017), who is in political asylum in Belgium and defends his innocence after being sentenced to eight years in prison for alleged corruption.

However, in his Monday statements, Abad denied the possibility of pardoning former president Correa.

They have wanted to make me believe that I am going to give a pardon to Mr. Correa, a crazy thing, in order to cover, cover up and justify the abuse of power’, he said.
