Education and career
Ana Lucía Armijos was born on October 13, 1949, to former Colonel and conservative politician Rafael Armijos in
Presidency of Sixto Durán Ballén
On August 25, 1992, she was inaugurated President of the Central Bank of Ecuador by Sixto Durán Ballén. However, she began to experience difficulties with the president of the Ecuadorian Monetary Board, Roberto Baquerizo, which made the future of either organization uncertain until the departure of Baquerizo and appointment of Armijos to his post on July 15, 1993.[2]
During the impeachment of Alberto Dahik over trials of embezzlement, Armijos became a vocal defender of Dahik and caused some controversy when she said "a loss for the country, where there are not many smart men" after his flight from Ecuador to Costa Rica. Later, it would be indicated that she was one of many possible aspirants to the office of Vice President.[2]
On May 30, 1997, Carlos Solórzano, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Justice of Ecuador, issued an arrest warrant for Armijos in the case of Banco Continental on accusations that she as president of the Monetary Board approved a 200 million dollar bailout of Continental.[2][3] Armijos went into hiding for exactly a year, as the new Chief Justice, Héctor Romero Parducci, declared her innocent of the charges leveled against her in May 1998.[2]
Presidency of Jamil Mahuad
In August 1998, Jamil Mahuad appointed Armijos Minister of the Interior, making her the first woman to hold this position.[4] During her term, she proposed the creation of a national council of governors.[2]
On February 15, 1999, Armijos was appointed
Later life and persecution
In July 2000, she and former president
In June 2006, Armijos and Mahuad had their charges lifted by the second chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, who asserted that they did not have enough evidence to actually arrest them,[11] but they would disregard this decision and reopen the case in December 2012.[14]
