A presidential system does not coexist well with parliamentary outage expedients, such as mutual death.

"Mutual death" is a feature of Ecuadorian hyperpresidentialism, which, however, applies principles of a parliamentary democracy.

The Ecuadorian president's decision to dissolve the Assembly took place in a context of a generalized insecurity crisis, a high unemployment rate and an ongoing conflict with members of Congress.

Ecuador's Constitutional Court has just admitted the impeachment procedure of President Guillermo Lasso.

Faced with the threat of impeachment, the President of the Republic also has a possibility: to dissolve the Parliament.

For the new administration everything will depend on three factors: the capacity of the Executive to include popularly supported and transversal measures, the cohesion of the benches in the Assembly under a governance logic, and social conflict.
