“I have nothing to do with the bank holiday. I was Governor of the province of Guayas, there is no single document with my presence nor my signature, so I have no link with the unfortunate incident that affected many ecuadorians” the candidate said
Lasso recalled that in 2006, that time presidential candidate Rafael Correa visited his home twice asking for support, to which the former CEO of the Bank of Guayaquil assured “The Rafael Correa I met in 2006 is not the same as today “.
