Transcript

00:00I believe that this time he would accomplish, he will fulfill those promises.

00:04Let's go back to the debate as it continues with the next topic, let's listen.

00:11So I'm going to ask you a question now.

00:18To generate employment and to sustain dollarization, we need to grow our economy.

00:26What would be your policy to attract foreign investment?

00:31Ecuadorians, we have to strengthen our dollarization.

00:40How do we manage that?

00:41By having a policy to promote exportations.

00:48Now we had a record in 2025, in January and February, of exportations because of the measures

00:57we took in 2024 to fulfill, to accomplish the growth that we proposed.

01:09How do we stabilize the dollarization, the dollarization that all the figures of the

01:20Citizens' Revolution demonize?

01:34They want to de-dollarize the Ecuador, and how are they going to do that?

01:40With pseudo-currency to de-dollarize the country.

01:48And that is why we have the dilemma, the motto, Luisa de-dollarizes you.

02:01So we are signing agreements with the Middle East, important commercial trades.

02:09We signed the free trade agreement with China, and we are going to finish the agreement with

02:17Canada soon.

02:20So that guarantees that the world believes in Daniel Novoa.

02:33So our popularity, so after the April 13th, we will manage to stabilize the country and

02:48to secure investment.

02:51That way we are going to move forward without forgetting the small entrepreneurs and women

02:58especially.

03:10To strengthen the economy, we need to speak about corruption.

03:19So about corruption, Petro Novoa, the food in schools, cocaine through Novoa trading

03:30boats, this is at play in these elections.

03:44In the National Assembly, you propose a bill to have a parallel currency to the dollar.

03:52After this.

04:04You are confused, you do not have proof, you are a lawyer, you should know this.

04:13I will say things that have evidence.

04:17Correa is a criminal.

04:36All of those people in the chat that you were in, those people were proved to be involved

04:46in corruption cases.

04:57So Google chose the equator as one of the few countries in the world to sign these agreements.

05:06We have to prioritize the investors, but we cannot forget the single mothers that are

05:14the bread givers of their homes.

05:21We also have to prioritize the entrepreneurs, the small entrepreneurs.

05:36You said that you were going to lower the price of the fuels, but you lied.

05:44They skyrocketed.

05:47That Petro Novoa commercializes with subsidized fuel, and you get money out of it.

05:59What are you going to do about this?

06:08My brother had lunch with me today, yes, he has his company.

06:13So let's see, why did you ask this?

06:21Pedro Granja was a new appointed officer in the municipality of Guayaquil, and then you

06:39get annoyed with them, and then you place them in a public position.

06:45That is traffic of influences, and he is the real trafficker of fuels.

06:54Now it's your turn to answer the question.

07:06To generate employment and sustain dollarization, the economy of Ecuador needs to grow.

07:14What is your goal in economical growth, and your measures to attract foreign investment?

07:24The dollarization is really important for this country, and I want to be clear, we are

07:33going to guarantee it and strengthen it with order, work, and peace.

07:40First we are going to lower the IVA, the taxes, because you took money from the Ecuadorians

07:49and worsened the economy.

07:52We are going to guarantee efficient public investment with associations between public

08:01and private companies.

08:03We are going to invest in energy to avoid blackouts.

08:10In the other hand, the public spending work as a fund in development.

08:22We are going to test some of that for transportation, entrepreneurs, agriculture through the CFN,

08:35so we are going to reactivate the economy by avoiding fights with other countries, and

08:44to guarantee the foreign investment, because we don't have it today, because you don't

08:49have respect for the Constitution.

08:55I'm going to read what the Citizens' Revolution government did through the Organic Monetary

09:03Code.

09:04You don't know that because you don't know about public management or private management.

09:14Article 94, every transaction and operation that takes place in the Republic of Ecuador

09:25are expressed in U.S. dollars, as this code establishes.

09:34The Citizens' Revolution guaranteed dollarization, and I'm going to do it.

09:42It's curious you mention energy, because you said in social media that we didn't need

10:03extra generation of energy.

10:07You said we didn't need renewable energy.

10:12You have a short memory.

10:16The dollarization, on one hand, you say one thing, and on the other hand, the Secretary

10:23of the Citizens' Revolution speaks about parallel currency, about the Ecuador dollars.

10:36How are you going to sustain all the things you say?

10:40Many of the things you propose, we are already doing it, and how are you going to make a

10:46plan for all the things you want to establish?

10:50Let's see.

10:54Focus.

10:56Andres Arauz is not here.

11:03Here is Luisa González, and I know about public management, 250,000 unemployed people

11:15under government.

11:17We took 2 million people out of poverty because we know about public management and government.

11:24Let's speak about the dollar.

11:27Your assemblywoman said you were going to have a parallel currency.

11:34When you and I were assembly people, we sent a bill to the Constitution to have the dollar

11:45as the official currency, and you didn't sign that.

11:59We sent that project, and you know who ordered to not have the dollar as the official currency?

12:08Daniel Novoa did it.

12:10So do not lie about that.

12:21As I already said, we have a scholarship meant for you so you can study about economy.

12:32About the dollars, we have to pay to Chevron.

12:35It's your government's fault.

12:38Who can believe in you when every company in Ecuador pays money to those people?

12:51Who can believe in you?

12:54Ecuadorians, I invite you to research on these declarations.

13:04Do not lie, Novoa.

13:06Subsides to Petro Novoa.

13:09School breakfasts, blackouts, the economic impact in Esmeralda to the environment and

13:19to the population, loss of employment, the removal of public investment.

13:30All of this in only a year.

13:32Really?

13:34Are you going to keep lying to the Ecuadorian people?

13:42Why?

13:43Are you going to keep destroying the country?

13:48And the question is, are you able to divide your private interest of the family business

13:57from the interest of the Ecuadorian people?

14:03Are you able to divide your private interest from the interest of the Ecuadorian people?
