Statement by MEPs David McAllister and Tomas Tobé, Co-Chairs of the Parliament’s Democracy Support and Election Coordination Group, on the upcoming general elections in Ecuador.
“The European Parliament will not observe the general elections in Ecuador. Consequently, it will comment neither on the process nor on the results that will be announced afterwards. No individual Member of the European Parliament has been mandated to observe or comment on this electoral process on behalf of the European Parliament. Therefore, should any Member of the European Parliament decide to witness these elections, they would do so on their own initiative and should, under no circumstances, through any statement or action, associate their participation with the European Parliament.”
