00:00To recover the health services,
00:05we have to remove corruption.
00:07How we are going to manage that?
00:09By using technology.
00:11By using Google to get
00:15the services of the state to be more
00:16efficient and to reduce costs.
00:20We will not use the eels as
00:23a small box because that was
00:25made by the failed revolution.
00:27They take the money for the social insurance,
00:31and they gave bonus to the people,
00:35and they had to sell them with a discount.
00:37That cannot happen.
00:42We're paying millions of dollars to the eels.
00:46How are we going to get this system to be sustainable?
00:52We are going to give employment to people.
00:57To give employment to young people that are going
01:01to be in the higher education centers,
01:08the public higher education centers.
01:10We are going to use all the people of our nation,
01:15our young people, to give them employment,
01:17and with their money of their taxes,
01:23the payment of pensions can be sustainable.
01:41The Ecuador is a poor country,
01:44so we have to take advantage of our young people to move
01:50forward to guarantee the efficiency of our social system.
01:57We are going to guarantee
02:20a safe future for our people.
02:28Now, it's the turn of the candidate Gonzalez.
02:50First, we have to change all the equipment in
02:54these health centers to guarantee medicines for people that are dying.
03:17You are going to rise the age of retirement.
03:24Pensioners will have to work eight years more.
03:37As I say in my initial presentations,
03:41we are not going to rise the age of retirement,
03:44and we are not going to rise the value of the apportations.
03:54So we are going to guarantee employment for young people.
04:03So they are going to be to drive the economy.
04:07We are going to support entrepreneurs so those businesses can move forward
04:17with around a $1,000.
04:29We are going to help them for
04:33those people who are going to start their entrepreneurship.
04:39We are going to give credits to women entrepreneurs.
04:47We are not going to reduce the pensions of the pensioners.
05:09Now, it's your turn,
05:11candidate Gonzalez, for your interpellation.
05:17You want to raise the age of retirement?
05:29This is how you are decapitalizing the youth?
05:33You reduce the number of affiliates?
05:36What is the question?
05:48She hasn't made any questions.
05:54She didn't question anything.
05:58She didn't make a question.
06:00You have your time.
06:06You play with the pensions of the people.
06:20That's public information.
06:22You can verify it.
06:23It's in social media.
06:26We are going to reactivate the economy.
06:31The only way to improve social insurance is having more young people working.
06:40To guarantee a foreign investment,
06:48we are going to rise the amount of
06:53apportations of the people, and that way, we are going to improve.
07:02Now, it's the turn of candidate Gonzalez.
07:13We have a serious deficit in health.
07:18Will you rise the apportations to guarantee sustainability in this sector?
07:34So, ELIA went from three millions and a half to three millions,
07:40and this government has reduced in more than 28,000.
07:48We lost 260,000 positions in a year in the administration of Novoa,
08:06and that's how you lose the yields.
08:08And people tell me that he is not improving anything in every corner,
08:23in every place of this country, and they say the president is not
08:31affiliating us because he doesn't care about workers.
08:35He doesn't care about just retirement, just pension.
08:54So, to guarantee affiliations, we are going to generate in four years
09:00more than two million employment for people.
09:06Prioritizing health and terminal disease people,
09:23because this government doesn't care about that.
09:27Those were people who were loved and died because they didn't have the medicine.
09:35In the Rios, in Esmeralda, in Manaví,
09:48we are going to improve the infrastructure in education and also in the hospitals.
09:53Now, candidate Novoa has one minute.
10:06Your proposals are not viable.
10:11You are going to feed the gangs in the hospitals, the corruption in the hospitals.
10:28You see in the pictures,
10:31these people are known for being part of the gangs in the hospitals,
10:36in the health system.
10:38How are you going to end the corruption of your friends that send medicine
10:44and get money out of this?
10:56No, Novoa, you didn't answer my question.
10:59And I'm going to say names to you.
11:02This is Maria.
11:05This is the president of ADN.
11:18Do you want to speak about who funds the political movements?
11:23Let's speak about Maria Moreno.
11:26People enter in the website of this.
11:42Where do you get the funds for your political party?
11:51If you want to eliminate corruption, why haven't you
11:54done anything in any of these months, in 15 months?
12:00What can you do about the people who die because they don't have the money?
12:14We care about the people, about taking action to improve health.
12:20Because I go to those hospitals, unlike you, who don't care about the people.
12:42Luisa, your government removed the appointments to pensions.
12:50Those are signatures. You can check that at the Senate.
12:53And Maria Moreno was the one who participated in making it clear
12:57with the prosecutor who was...
13:00One minute for the candidate's answer, Luisa González.
13:04Fifteen months and you don't learn what public administration is.
13:07Fifteen months and you haven't learned anything about public administration.
13:12You cannot compromise public funds if there is not a budget.
13:20Many of our elders are not receiving their pensions.
13:34So I put order on this.
13:37I force institutions to give pensions to their pensioners.
13:51That is called public administration.
13:57Let me explain it to you.
