Luisa Gonzalez, presidential candidate for the Ecuadorian movement Revolución Ciudadana 5 (RC5)

The director in charge of the Ecuadorian movement Revolución Ciudadana 5 (RC5) in France, Myriam Vásquez, expressed confidence this political organization will win the general elections of August 20, which she considered a need for the country.

Paris.- We must recover our homeland; the triumph of RC5 and its presidential ticket Luisa González and Andrés Arauz is fundamental to have security and inclusion again, it is a necessity both for Ecuadorians who are there and for those of us who are abroad, she commented in statements to Prensa Latina.

According to Vásquez, Ecuador is going through very difficult times, marked by insecurity and an increase in poverty, a scenario that triggers emigration and despair, in the midst of media manipulation to deceive and confuse, which she denounced.

There is no safety in Ecuador, people are afraid to travel, the Citizen Revolution already ruled for a decade (2007-2017 with the presidency of Rafael Correa) and no one can doubt its economic and social achievements, she stressed.

The activist highlighted the role in favor of the future of the country that summons more than 400,000 registered residents abroad to the polls, elections resulting from the decision of President Guillermo Lasso to dissolve the National Assembly in May when he was facing an impeachment trial.

However, Vásquez criticized the obstacles faced by the voters abroad, forced to exercise their right by telematic voting, even though not all the conditions required for this purpose were created.

The National Electoral Council should have established this process differently, considering issues such as the digital gap, to guarantee this constitutional right, she warned.

In this regard, she pointed out that thousands of compatriots live in the South of France, many dedicated to agricultural work, whom they have tried to accompany in the registration for online voting.

We know that Ecuadorians living far from their homeland remember and recognize what the Citizen Revolution represented in terms of rights for all, which abroad materialized in concrete support in difficult times, she said.

In this regard, Vasquez pointed out the legal and psychological support from the Consulates to those who faced problems such as the mortgage crisis in Spain.

Subsequent governments (Lenín Moreno and Lasso) dismantled that help and that concern that existed for Ecuadorian migrants, she denounced. (PL)
