Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa led a march on August 12, 2025, toward the Constitutional Court in protest against recent decisions by the court that suspended several security laws. The demonstration was organized by the government and supported by some members of the National Assembly. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (CIDH) expressed concern over actions and rhetoric that may threaten the independence of the Constitutional Court judges. Various human rights and academic organizations called for respect for judicial autonomy, emphasizing that judicial independence is fundamental to democracy. Opposition groups criticized the march as a sign of authoritarianism. The protest reflects ongoing tensions between the executive branch and the Constitutional Court in Ecuador regarding security legislation.
