We faced a new electoral process, unconventional and shades of blood and violence that taint the hope for a functioning democracy, definitely the decadence into which the country is sinking every day has more and more broken the political board as it was He knew it until now.

The debate that took place a few days after the violent act against the presidential candidate contrasted with a mediocre format that did not allow the confrontation of ideas, the heavy accusations that were made were followed by several related answers, silence, with the ecu volleyball player who felt ready to defeat the French legion with the rules of the game that being played only in Ecuador, a debate that lacked depth but had a candidate carrying a giant dartboard with a photo of the past government full of mistakes, alleged corruption and social ills in the midst of a pandemic.

In short, dear reader, we are in the second round, with a renewed, seemingly clean face, with someone who excelled in debate because no one could point a finger at him, with someone who gave me a sense of hope, who with prudence and knowledge not only won its passage to the second round, it probably won the biggest challenge, raising this country that still has a thread of hope, a country in agony, distressed and in pain, but brave, politics and the country now found themselves in a dilemma of the best choice we have to choose between the past and the present, to define our future, between the old politics or the change of generations that they offered us. Today, I only ask you for responsibility and courage to make democracy the best weapon against terror and humiliation. Today, we have a responsibility to think about our vote outside of social networks and we have an obligation to bravely face the decision that we cast that vote, which today more than ever is an injection of oxygen to a suffocated country.
