00:00Now, Candidate González, you have 25 seconds to formulate your question.
00:16Governance requires articulation and resources for the governments, the local governments.
00:26So are you going to charge what your family owes to the CRAI?
00:33No.
00:34The CRAI has to carry on with their procedures, the same way that it does to all the people,
00:51and the same way you have your, you use the presidential plane to travel without being
01:03the president.
01:04But as you said that the government of Rafael Correa was your government, you believe you
01:08were the president, so you use the plane.
01:11So all the people will have their taxes.
01:21So I'm not in charge of any family business.
01:27I'm fully committed to the Ecuadorian people and to their children and their people.
01:37Candidate González, 45 seconds.
01:42That was a lie, Novoa.
01:44I asked all the families of Ecuador, what happens if you do not pay the CRAI?
01:53No.
01:55You are forced to abide by the law.
02:02But the candidate said, Candidate Novoa said, that if he is the boss, he will not cover
02:12the $94 million that his family owes to the CRAI.
02:20All that money that is needed for education and health.
02:24One minute, Candidate Novoa, to respond.
02:28Luisa, everyone in Ecuador knows that my parents were persecuted by you, by your government.
02:43Because they were forced to be in exile.
02:49They were constantly persecuted.
02:51Not only them, but journalists, business people, people who were persecuted for having different
03:01opinions, kidnappings, murders, also the harassment of women, as Soledad Padilla and Laura Flores
03:12That's what happens with the government of the Citizens' Revolution.
03:18It's pure violence.
03:21And in the order of not thinking the same.
03:24That is totalitarianism.
03:27This is the end of our fifth AXIS.
03:30This is already almost the final part of our debate.
