Biography

Jiménez was the Prefect of the Zamora-Chinchipe Province from 2019 to 2023. He was a member of the National Assembly from 2009 to 2017. He was a member of the Pachakutik Party during his parliamentary career.

During the 2013–2014 National Assembly session, his parliamentary assistant was journalist Fernando Villavicencio.[1][2] During this time, Jiménez and Villavicencio accused President Rafael Correa of having ordered an armed incursion at a hospital during a police revolt in September 2010.[3] He was sued by Correa for libel and had an arrest warrant against him.[3] Instead of turning himself in, he hid in the Amazon region until his sentence expired.[3]
