Life
editIn 2017 she was a General Manager at BRICS Consortium CONBRICS CL[1] which was established that year based in Sangolqui.[2]
In 2023 there was unplanned election after the country's president decided to use an unusual clause in the constitution to avoid being impeached. He resigned but the clause required all of the National Assembly members to also resign.[3] She joined the new National Democratic Action (ADN) party and became one of their candidates. Alarcón was elected to the National Assembly to represent Pichincha province. Her alternate was Cristobal Vaca. She joined the assembly's Permanent Commission on Sovereignty, Integration and Comprehensive Security and she became its president.[1]
In August 2024 she won a pyrrhic victory in the courts when the judge decided that impeachments could progress in the National Assembly against three former ministers of Guillermo Lasso:Pablo Arosemena, Andrea Montalvo and Sebastián Corral. However the secretary of the assembly, Alejandro Muñoz, announced that the assembly would not only not comply but it would consider taking action against the erroneous judge and Alarcón.[4]
In September 2024 she was at threat of being suspended from the assembly. Political rival Paola Cabezas alleged that Alarcón had brought the assembly into disrepute. Cabezas said that Alarcon had referred to the impeachment of Attorney-General Diana Salazar as a "narco-trial". In reply, Alarcón proposed that this was just an attempt by Cabezas to avoid other issues that involved former leaders from her party. The accusation would be judged by the Assembly's Legislative Administration Council.[5]
