Ecuador's "Unity to Win" Front (FUPV), which is a coalition of progressive social organizations, rejected the decision of the National Electoral Council (CNE) to grant ten days to the Social Commitment Force (SCF) to assume the defense of former President Rafael Correa in an administrative process that could exclude him from the 2021 elections.

The FUPV denounced in a statement that the CNE decision occurs because of the political pressures that current president Lenin Moreno’s administration and mainstream media exert to leave the former Leftist president out of the electoral contest.

The Social Commitment Force called an "electoral fraud" the political manipulation that the elites are carrying out to prevent their participation in the upcoming elections.

"This is part of a strategy undertaken for three years which has been carried out without a minimum of shame by the Ecuadorian political and economic elites, which intend to end the Correismo in complicity with most of the country's media."
