Lenín Moreno attacks the candidate Luisa González
“Despite the dirty and millionaire campaign, the candidate Luisa González will not, listen to me, be able to return power to the fugitive Rafael Correa in October,” said the former president in his speech.
Moreno ‘s statements did not take Ecuadorians by surprise, because after three months of becoming president in 2017, he distanced himself from the Correismo that later became greater.
Other losses for Correismo
Ecuavisa reports that in his message, Moreno recalled that the Citizen Revolution has not been able to regain power on several occasions. He has seen the defeats since Rafael Correa was unable to participate in the 2017 elections, “despite having obtained the approval of his Assembly and his Constitutional Court to approve his re-election.”
Then there is the popular consultation in 2018, the presidential candidacy in 2021 “and they will lose the same this October,” he declared.
«I was never from La Gallada»
Although he served as Rafael Correa ‘s vice president for two periods (2007 to 2013), Moreno indicated that he was never part of “the gallada” and that his libertarian thinking always made him uncomfortable.
Furthermore, he maintained that “they (Rafael Correa and other members of the movement) went to Switzerland , in 2016, to beg me to be a candidate to, supposedly, defend their comrades from the revenge of political enemies.” However, today he claims to be the one being persecuted with five legal proceedings against him.
Finally, he said that “they will never govern Ecuador again because of the damage they did.”
