07:38needs.

09:13for at least 12,000 people and close to 75% of its production is sent to the United States.

14:56To all of you, I would like to express that this drill is a public exercise of trust.
15:02It is the demonstration that democracy is not improvised, it is built with responsibility.

16:29the situations faced by Ecuadorians abroad.
16:32They also remarked that Ecuador is facing a severe violence crisis and that they deserve
16:37a fair change.
16:46After years of consecutive permanent destruction of the homeland, and definitely if it is not
16:50done now, then it would be very difficult to recover the country.
16:56We have many problems in Ecuador, it is public knowledge.
17:00One of the main is crime.
17:02At the time of President Rafael Correa, that in seven years, we were the safest country
17:07in the region.
17:10How can this explained?
