Ecuador's Attorney General Resigns Amidst Allegations of Political Bias

Diana Salazar, Ecuador's Attorney General, resigned on May 22, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of controversy. Her six-year tenure has been marked by accusations of political bias, favoring the Guillermo Lasso administration, and persecuting opposition figures. Critics point to the 'Sobornos' case, which sidelined former president Rafael Correa, as a prime example of 'Lawfare'. Salazar has also been accused of leaking confidential information to media outlets aligned with the government. The video includes footage of Salazar's appearances before the National Assembly, where she faced questioning from lawmakers. One legislator stated, "Salazar's actions demonstrate a clear pattern of favoritism towards the ruling party." This resignation leaves Ecuador's Attorney General's office weakened and raises concerns about the integrity of the justice system. The events surrounding Salazar's departure highlight the complex interplay between politics and law enforcement in Ecuador.
