00:22Dear Ecuadorians, let's change this sad reality and give hope to the people.

01:17Dear Ecuadorians, this is the end of this debate and this conversation with you because
01:30you deserve proposals and justice and freedom and dignity.
01:37There's a clear contrast here.
01:40You have two options, totalitarianism or democracy.
01:46Totalitarianism or a dictatorship similar to the one of Maduro.
01:52Here we are fighting for dignity of the Ecuadorians, for the security of our children, to avoid
02:04the Ecuador becoming a narco-state, to arm our police forces and to empower all the Ecuadorians

02:19want to be friends with the world.
02:20We will fight for that.
