The president referred to the meeting of some leaders of the right in Guayaquil with destabilization purposes. He said that the meeting is to plan demonstrations in the coming weeks, “knowing that the vast majority will not stay with arms crossed (…) They will find us here defending the revolution.”
The head of state said he seeks nothing for him, “but everything for the people, that has merited to be free.” He noted they are patriots working for the people, for the middle class, for large majorities.” He asked the public that when “those in mourning, in their fancy, pride, frustration, shout out: ‘Out Correa, out,’ we shout: ‘Out coup leaders, out.'”
