00:00Now in Ecuador, the popular consultation and referendum promoted by the government of Daniel Novoa took place amid multiple complaints from citizens, analysts and representatives of various movements, as the question would not benefit the country.
00:24As a result, at the end of the election day, the victory of the no vote on all four questions was positioned as an irreversible trend, evidence of the people's total rejection of the government. Let's see more.
00:36At 6.20 a.m. on Sunday, November 19th, Ecuador began the election day for the 2025 popular consultation and referendum, following an opening ceremony at the National Electoral Council.
00:52Then, at 7 a.m., the polling stations opened. From the very beginning, citizens expressed a rejection of the government's initiative.
00:59No, in my case, no, in my family's case. I hope that the country and the world realize that no, is the virtue for this country.
01:10Like Chalita, thousands of citizens joined in voting against the referendum, stating that the government's offers are lies disguised as promises.
01:18Because he has not fulfilled the promises he made in his first presidential election campaign. He promised not to raise gas prices, to supply hospitals with medicines, and he has not delivered on any of that for times over. And if I could vote more, I would vote more.
01:34At 5 p.m., the polls closed and the vote count began. Immediately, the rejection of the executive branch was reflected, with the no vote prevailing in all four questions.
01:47The people said no to the return of foreign bases, no to the reduction of assembly members, no to the withdrawal of funds from political parties, and no to the constituent assembly.
01:57We are celebrating because there is hope for our country, and we will continue to work together in a coordinated manner to defend our great common project, which is the constitution.
02:11This is a clear message that Ecuador has sent you. Stop the arrogance. Stop the abuse of power. Now is the time to change your direction, to manage and work for the benefit of the Ecuadorian people.
02:22Subsequently, the president of the citizens' revolution movement, Luisa González, stated that today marks a new chapter in Ecuador's history.
02:34She added that this result reflects a people tired of the actions of the executive branch, which only works in favor of the elites.
02:42And Novoa says no, this country is a dignified nation. A new history is being written where Ecuador says no to those who lie to us and deceive us, to those who want to pit us against each other and seek personal gain.
02:59Ecuador says that here we seek the common good because we are a brotherhood of people.
03:02Immediately, the streets turned into a festive atmosphere. González even joined in singing with the supporters who were celebrating the victory of the know.
03:20Hundreds of citizens shouted and applauded with flags and hand and horns, both in the streets of Quito and at the RC campaign headquarters.
03:28Yes, we can build a different Ecuador when one governs with knowledge, the capacity to love the people, and not only love for their own pockets.
03:42Today, Ecuador said no to the corruption of Brogan, to the splitting up of our hospitals, to destroying public education and health, in order to turn them into private businesses.
03:51For now, the victory of the know in the popular consultation and referendum is a fact, and citizens celebrated in the streets with chance.
04:06For several analysts, this is a sign that the government should step aside and accept the rejection of the Ecuadorian people.
