Mariuxi Cleopatra Sánchez Sarango is an Ecuadorian politician who became a member of the National Assembly in 2021.
Life
Sánchez is concerned about the damage done by Texaco-Chevron in Ecuador. In 2012 she witnessed a waste pit that was nearly a kilometre long. One woman told her that she had lost four relatives to cancer. She was elected to be a member of the fourth legislative period of the National Assembly of Ecuador in May 2021 to represent the province of Orellana.
After she was elected in 2021, Enriquez became a member of the Permanent Commission of Education, Culture, Science, Technology, Innovation and Ancestral Knowledge. Other members of that commission include Ana Raffo, Isabel Enriquez and Zolanda Pluas.
She was a member of the Unión por la Esperanza (UNES) in the assembly. On 9 March 2022, there was a vote to undermine the president of the Assembly, Guadalupe Llori. Sánchez was absent so the critical vote was not obtained.
She was one of the 80 members of the assembly who voted to impeach Guillermo Lasso. As a result, Lasso resigned using a "cross-death" clause in the constitution which required all the members of the assembly to resign as well.
She joined the Permanent Commission on Biodiversity and Natural Resources with Sofia Sanchez. She was concerned with oil pollution and that the lack of political will to deal with the perpetrators. Texaco-Chevron has been given a fine of nine billion dollars but it has not been paid. In 2024, she and Roberto Cerda became vice President and President of the "Occasional Specialized Commission of the Amazonian Constituency".
