00:00And now we go live with a press conference of the Citizens' Revolution Party. Let's listen.

00:18I'm once again here in front of my people, facing my people, as always,

00:23as it has to be done by the people of good faith.

00:30I always want to thank my colleagues, everyone that is here, press and elected authorities,

00:38colleagues of Citizens' Revolution, my running mate, Diego Borjas.

00:42Thank you all for being here with us.

00:48I want to thank the members of the Unity as well.

00:52And having said this, I want to be very clear.

00:55Citizens' Revolution, as always, recognized a defeat in the last elections when it has been proven in the statistics and polls.

01:11Today, we do not recognize the results.

01:15The crowd is cheering and screaming, calling for a recount of the votes.

01:32I'm going to be very clear.

01:40In the name of men, women, children, teenagers that I represent, to which we all represent,

01:50in the name of the people that we represent,

01:53we do not recognize the results presented by the National Electoral Authority.

01:59The crowd is now cheering, saying that she's not alone.

02:19And I want always to recognize the unity, and I want to recognize the movements inside our Citizens' Revolution,

02:28the different movements, the right political parties, and businessmen, different actors,

02:35everyone that supported this project of Homeland.

02:39And I refuse to believe that there is a people that prefers lie before the truth and violence before peace and unity.

02:50I refuse to believe something like this.

02:53That is why we, the whole people that has united against violence, against lies,

03:01we're going to ask for a recount of the polls.

03:06We have witnessed how the abuse of power, first, no one ever asked for the license.

03:31Second, use the authorities of the National Electoral Council to do whatever he wanted to,

03:39to trample the rights of Ecuadorian people and to trample democracy.

03:44And then, a state of exception.

03:47Why?

03:48For what?

03:49To, very likely, guarantee the greatest electoral fraud that has occurred here.

04:00Dear brothers, we have to be very clear.

04:18There are nearly 11 polls, investigations.

04:25Oh, even that of the government, they didn't give them the victory.

04:30Not a single one gave the victory, and even less the difference, like the one that the National Electoral Council is showing.

04:43So that's why I denounce before my people, the media, and before the world,

04:48that Ecuador is experiencing a dictatorship,

04:50and they are implementing, they are carrying out the worst electoral fraud of the Republic of Ecuador.

04:56The crowd continues cheering and telling Luisa that she's not alone.

05:10How can this be believable, the numbers that they are showing?

05:28How can we believe that 11 polls, and there was not a single one that gave the victory to him?

05:40There was not a single poll that gave him victory.

05:58And here we are going to defend our rise to democracy,

06:01and call for a new recount, and for the polls to be open.

06:05Ecuador cannot continue to be ruled in the hands of someone that is unable to direct the country to peace,

06:17to nonviolence, and to development.

06:21The only thing that knows how to do is to hurt his family and persecute the Ecuadorian people.

06:27Today, more than ever, dear brothers and sisters, we have to be united.

06:33Today, more than ever, we have to be vigilant of what he who refers to him as President of the Republic does.

06:45Because the support of the people, he doesn't have it.

06:48Because he's doing fraud, the worst fraud, and I denounce this publicly.

06:53Thank you very much.

06:55We are going to continue in the struggle.

06:57We are going to continue in the struggle.

07:04And Luisa Gonzalez, the presidential candidate of the Citizens Revolution Party,

07:09doesn't recognize the results.

07:12She said this election has been marred by regularities,

07:16starring from the state of exception that was declared by the incumbent President Daniel Novoa.

07:20In this sense, the president of the elections of the executive secretary of the National Revolution Party,

07:28on his ex-account, made statements about the approval of electoral sheets without signatures

07:34and in favor of presidential candidate Daniel Novoa.

07:38In this sense, Luisa Gonzalez has asked for a record of votes

07:42because these elections were marked by an obvious fraud,

07:47and Gonzalez denounced it publicly.

07:49It's well known that since the first term of Daniel Novoa,

07:55he did nothing about the situations in the country.

07:59A wave of violence emerged from the bottom to the top,

08:03and now with this supposed re-election that is being denounced as a fraud,

08:10the presidential candidate for the Citizens Revolution Party denounced a fraud,

08:17and that she doesn't recognize the results,

08:20and that it's necessary a record of votes for to clarify all the situation

08:28that has been happening in this electoral process.

08:33Let's remember that a state of exception was announced

08:39and was declared by the government of Novoa yesterday, Saturday,

08:45and not only this, there were also the violent threats against the presidential candidate

08:57of the citizens' revolution party, Luisa Gonzalez, her family, her supporters.

09:02This has been fraud, this has been announced fraud,

09:06and the not recognition of their results.

09:09.

09:15.
