According to the newspaper, El Comercio, Ecuadorian legislators are working to remove the Minister of her obligations. She said that this is a campaign to persecute Rafael Correa’s government.

Members of congress accused the Minister of impacts and tourism regulations in the Galápagos Islands and ignoring five warnings from the UNESCO about the need to apply politics for controlling impacts in the Islands. They also questioned the approval of the environmental license for the entrance of the 500-passenger M/V Discovery.

The countdown for the Minister of Environment has begun last week. Some environmental groups support the idea of removing the Minister for her lack of leadership in the environmental impacts that Ecuador has been dealing with these past years.
