00:01In Ecuador, the popular consultation, a referendum promoted by the government of Daniel Novoa
00:05took place amidst multiple complaints from citizens, analysts and representatives of
00:09various movements, as the questions would not benefit the country.
00:13As a result, at the end of the election day, the victory of the no vote on all four questions
00:18was positioned as an irreversible trend, evidence of the popular's total rejection
00:23of the government.
00:24Let's see.
00:25At 6.20 a.m. on Sunday, November 19th, Ecuador began the election day for the 2025 popular
00:34consultation and referendum, following an opening ceremony at the National Electoral Council.
00:40Then, at 7 a.m., the polling stations opened.
00:44From the very beginning, citizens expressed a rejection of the government's initiative.
00:48No, in my case, no, in my family's case.
00:53I hope that the country and the world realize that no, is the virtue for this country.
00:57Like Chalita, thousands of citizens joined in voting against the referendum, stating that
01:03the government's offers are lies disguised as promises.
01:08Because he has not fulfilled the promises he made in his first presidential election campaign.
01:13He promised not to raise gas prices, to supply hospitals with medicines, and he has not delivered
01:18on any of that for times over.
01:21And if I could vote more, I would vote more.
01:23No, no.
01:24At 5 p.m., the polls closed and the vote count began.
01:29Immediately, the rejection of the executive branch was reflected, with the no vote prevailing
01:34in all four questions.
01:35The people said no to the return of foreign bases, no to the reduction of assembly members,
01:41no to the withdrawal of funds from political parties, and no to the constituent assembly.
01:46We are celebrating because there is hope for our country, and we will continue to work
01:52together in a coordinated manner to defend our great common project, which is the constitution.
01:59This is a clear message that Ecuador has sent you, stop the arrogance, stop the abuse of
02:04power.
02:05Now is the time to change your direction, to manage and work for the benefit of the Ecuadorian
02:09people.
02:10Subsequently, the president of the Citizens Revolution Movement, Luisa Gonzalez, stated
02:19that today marks a new chapter in Ecuador's history.
02:23She added that this result reflects a people tired of the actions of the executive branch,
02:28which only works in favor of the elites.
02:35And Noboa says no, this country is a dignified nation.
02:38A new history is being written where Ecuador says no to those who lie to us and deceive us,
02:43to those who want to pit us against each other and seek personal gain.
02:47Ecuador says that here we seek the common good because we are a brotherhood of people.
02:59Immediately the streets turned into a festive atmosphere.
03:03Gonzalez even joined in singing with the supporters who were celebrating the victory of the Noh.
03:08Hundreds of citizens shouted and applauded with flags in hand and horns, both in the streets
03:13of Quito and at the RC campaign headquarters.
03:20Yes, we can build a different Ecuador when one governs with knowledge, the capacity to
03:26love the people and not only love for their own pockets.
03:30Today Ecuador said no to the corruption of Brogan, to the splitting up of our hospitals,
03:35destroying public education and health, in order to turn them into private businesses.
03:42For now, the victory of the Noh in the popular consultation and referendum is a fact,
03:51and citizens celebrated in the streets with chants.
03:54For several analysts, this is a sign that the government should step aside and accept the
03:58rejection of the Ecuadorian people.
04:05The reason why people in the government should be doing is an efficient way of killing people.
04:10On the contrary, the government should be doing something special that we have today.
04:14The government should go to the government to maintain a daily basis of the city of New York City,
04:20from the New York City.
04:21What does that mean for that?
04:23We have a clear presence of this environment.
04:25It seems like the problem is that an abortion system has to be established in a position ofливо and
04:28a country.
04:29We are going to be dealt with an abortion system and a country that we have to identify with.
