Alvaro Noboa

Press conference statements by Dr. Vicente Taiano

So gentlemen, regarding the aforementioned destitution of our leader counselor Alvaro Noboa as assemblyman, we who make-up the PRIAN political party wish to express to the people of Ecuador that Alvaro Noboa complied in presenting his income tax return corresponding to the 2006 period to the National Constitutional Assembly as he was requested to do so as he also complied with the certificate required by the internal revenue service however he did not deliver his sworn statement declaring his assets as he had already anticipated during his speech at the National Assembly on the 28th of December. He will not comply because there isn't a single constitutional guarantee in existence in this country today where there is no respect for the constitution. They are merely waiting, as they had mentioned before, for Alvaro Noboa to present his asset declaration, so that, if only a coma was omitted, or a bicycle from infancy they would initiate penal action against him . To avoid such persecution, Alvaro Noboa adopted such a decision on the very same day that the national constitutional assembly in an unconstitutional illegal and unique manner in ecuadorian history approved a group of tax laws dedicated directly to Alvaro Noboa for his only sin of affording health, education and housing to the poor. This persecution is not recent.

The people of Ecuador have witnessed how we have been absurdly illegally and unconstitutionally fined in the amount of $6'300000 dollars for the sin of not having voted in favor of amnesty for Abdala Bucaram. We wish to denounce the persecution directed towards our leader Alvaro Noboa and all of us who make - up the PRIAN political party (PRIAN).

We will not file any international complaints what he will do is stand by the people to defend their interests as Alvaro Noboa has always done.

THANKS
