News conference

From the Yellow Room of the Carondelet Palace, Rafael Correa held a press conference to the national and international media. There he said “we’re just here to serve you. Anything for us, everything for you, people that has become worthy of being free.”

He did not rule out the possibility of a dialogue with the banker Guillermo Lasso, second in the polls, who, however, criticized by having “joined the opposition”. He will not do it with Lucio Gutierrez, Alvaro Noboa or Nelson Zavala, on his opinion, doing that would mean to give up on the principles and values.
