Life
Astudillo was elected to the National Assembly in 2021. She is the representative of El Oro Province and a member of the Union for Hope coalition.
In November 2021 she was one of the 81 politicians who abstained which allowed the Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability Law to be passed. Other abstainers included Paola Cabezas, Jessica Castillo, Soledad Diab, Ana Herrera, Gissella Molina and Patricia Sánchez.[1]
She has been accused of encouraging payments to Asotex Orense. The accusation was made by Eitel Zambrano of the National Agreement Bank BAN.[2] The case was investigated by the National Assembly's Ethics Committee. Astudillo was the third member to appear in front on the committee. Bella Jimenez had lost her seat within months of gaining it.[3]
