Camila León Cueva (born c.2005) is an Ecuadorian National Assembly Member for the Province of Azuay. She entered parliament before she completed her course in political science at the age of twenty.

Life

León was born in Azuay Province in about 2005. She studied political science at the International University of La Rioja and before she has graduated she was elected to the National Assembly to represent Azuay Province. She was a member of the governing party, National Democratic Action, [2] and she was elected to lead the Commission on Biodiversity and Natural Resources. Other members were Jadira Del Rosario Bayas Uriarte, Sade Rashel Fritschi Naranjo, Hope of the Swan Rogel, Pamela Aguirre Zambonino and Katherine Alexandra Pacheco Machuca.[3]

In July 2025 her proposal to drop the approval of a law concerning animal rights was passed by a majority of the National Assembly.[4] In September she was told that she would not be welcome in the Azuay province by indigenous organisations because of her seeming support for a mining project[5] managed by the Canadian mining company Dundee Precious Metals.[6]
