Members of the press: I wish to tell you that it is with sorrow and preocupation that i see the path upon which our country has embarked and I empathize with my husband Álvaro Noboa for his unjust expulsion from The National Constitutional Assembly and for the political persecution of which he is the victim in the way of fines, legal claims, and now with this expulsion from The National Assembly.

It should be clear to the whole country that Álvaro Noboa will continue to work and struggle for freedom in Ecuador, that he will not be diminished before those who seek to silence his voice and that he will always be mindful of what befalls his country.

Colleagues what is happening is unfair, it is unfair that my husband Álvaro Noboa has been expelled but, as he says, if he had presented an asset declaration in a sworn deposition they would have searched for an excuse to invent an offence whereby they would persecute and jail him. Gentlemen of the press, this was the reason Álvaro Noboa failed to present an asset declaration in a sworn deposition. We are not living under a state of law with constitutional guarantees thank you members of the press.
Well, this is an assembly of envy; this is the assembly of hate, the assembly of revenge of the struggle between Ecuadorians with those feelings in the forefront of The National Assembly anything can happen with a sworn statement declaring all assets belonging to Álvaro Noboa. We want to make an indelible impression in the memory of the Ecuadorian people about what is occurring presently and the fact there are no constitutional guarantees enabling a politically besieged person to properly defend himself

THANKS
