We are here in <em>Huancavilca<\/em> <em>830 AM<\/em>, taking the news large, and today is Monday, October 1. We cordially greet Attorney \u00c1lvaro Noboa Pont\u00f3n, with whom we are going to talk about his proposals as a fifth-time candidate for President of the Republic .\u00a0 Elections will be on February 17 of next year, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney \u00c1lvaro Noboa Pont\u00f3n, greetings. How are you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>I am very, very well, there\u2019s very good news. On Friday we had verified all the signatures for the PRIAN and the result is that we have 261,000 approved signatures, which will make us the political party with the greatest number of approved signatures. So, together with <em>Alianza Pa\u00eds<\/em>, we are the two political institutions with the most signatures in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>That means that you and your political party maintain the status, that is of being protagonists here in national politics. What is that due to, Counselor \u00c1lvaro Noboa?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>The main reason and the polls verify it, which put Correa at 36% and decreasing; \u00c1lvaro Noboa at 21% and increasing; Guillermo Lasso at 3%; Lucio Guti\u00e9rrez at 2%; and the left with Alberto Acosta at 2%. The main reason is that from \u201998, the time when I ran for President, until today, there has continued to be poverty in Ecuador. There are still millions of people in the world, and in Ecuador, who unfortunately earn $2 a day, which is considered to be poverty level. Well, therefore, as it is my life\u2019s mission to transform all those poor people into a rich middle class like that which exists in Chile, like that which exists in the United States, the people have responded all these years very positively.\u00a0\u00a0 In \u201998 I won the elections; in 2006 I won the first round against Correa, and the first response gave me fifty-some percent of the vote. It\u2019s that Ecuadorians want to become middle class. They want cement houses, they want a car, they want to have well-paid employment, of $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 just like was is earned by the middle classes in other parts of the world, instead of $2 a day, and they want their neighborhoods to be safe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>You are listening to Attorney \u00c1lvaro Noboa Pont\u00f3n here in the Big H of News, <em>Huancavilca 830 AM<\/em>. Attorney \u00c1lvaro Noboa, when you ran for the third time for President of the Republic, you stated clearly that there were \u201cintellectualoides,\u201d\u00a0 \u201cextreme leftists\u2026.\u201d\u00a0 throughout the electoral event. In the next race, do you believe that they are going to continue, or that they still exist?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>No, no, the principal enemy of the people, and the principal enemy of change in Ecuador is Economist Rafael Correa. He, this very Friday, together with the IRS took a series of cautionary measures against <em>Exportadora Bananera Noboa<\/em>, and created a political show that was, for me, nothing more than to cover the amount of corruption that can be seen in government, like with the COFIEC case. So, they want to take me as a scapegoat but I, what he doesn\u2019t know, is that I am going to steal a victory march in my presidential political campaign. If he thinks that with this he\u2019s going to intimidate me, he\u2019s not going to do it. And if he thinks that with this, that with a smoke screen,\u00a0 the people are going to change, he\u2019s not going to do it. Because Ecuador is clear about the high level of corruption that is occurring under this government. It\u2019s clear about the lack of judicial security that there is, where they imprison judges when they decide against the measures taken by the government. It is clear that the economic situation in Ecuador is very bad, because although the people, technically, earn more, and there is money thanks to petroleum, the cost of living has shot up. There is as well, one of the biggest complaints of Ecuadorians is the lack of employment, and they experience it and feel it. We constantly have people taking their r\u00e9sum\u00e9s and looking at all costs for work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>In regards to <em>Bananera Noboa<\/em>, on Friday, Mr. Juan Miguel Avil\u00e9s\u00a0 arrived, the Regional Director of the IRS who came solely to submit a demand for payment for $98 million dollars with regard to taxes, but he came accompanied by a lot of public force.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Indeed, with a lot of show, but, yes, there is an intention to cause damage, and for that reason it is the hands of my lawyers and we will continue with our legal plan of defense. We live in a state of rule by force, in a dictatorship, but there are still some honest judges, there are still people that respect the law, and we hope that pursue it not nationally, but rather to take it to the international courts in order to show how it is possible that they want to charge <em>Bananera Noboa <\/em>$49 million dollars with fines and interest it comes to $98 million, while they charged <em>Dole <\/em>$708,000 and <em>Chiquita <\/em>$35,000. That is to say, it\u2019s laughable that of the 600,000 signatures presented by the PRIAN to the CNE only 202,000 have been approved.\u00a0 But that is this country, that is this dictatorship, this election\u2026. which is full of faults. For that reason, I repeat, I am raising complaints to the Presidents of the all the Republics of America firstly, and I am also telling the whole world even Chavez has done this to Capriles. Or that is to say, Correa must be full of terror, full of hate, full of those vices that he has brought to our country, which could be a developed country, you are in a third world country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Attorney \u00c1lvaro Noboa, the Director General of the IRS, Economist Carlos Marx Carrasco said in a press conference, that <em>Bananera Noboa <\/em>had paid, over 9 years, an average of$200,000 dollars a year, and that it had shortchanged its workers of $34 million dollars in the year 2005 in respect of its profits. What can you say in regards to that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Let\u2019s leave that to the lawyers. Correa wants that you point that out in your radio program\u2026 talking about <em>Bananera Noboa<\/em> in the political campaign would be doing Correa\u2019s pleasure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Very well, now, Attorney \u00c1lvaro Noboa\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Resolving the problems of the country \u2013 I have worked enough for myself, I have made a lot of money and now I want work towards the poor having money. Look, the modern world, in regards to economics, has gotten ahead by very clear means, which are:\u00a0 free enterprise, the free market, foreign investment, always and only when that investment is protected in countries like Ecuador, where it should be protected and not unprotected. In other countries, in Chile, in China, in South Korea, there is judicial protection. If you want to commit some barbarity against me, I can go before a judge and it is sure that I will see justice done. In Ecuador there is none, and so, what has been the result? Which are the most important companies in Ecuador? The same there were 40 years ago:\u00a0 the <em>Cervecer\u00eda Nacional<\/em>,<em> Industrial Molinera<\/em>, <em>Cemento Nacional, <\/em>the big supermarkets.\u00a0 The same ones as 40 years ago!<\/p>\n<p>When Ecuador could be having thousands of new businesses of billionaire businessmen who would come with pleasures, always and only if it\u2019s to their advantage. What would those advantages be, and what would our advantages be?\u00a0 They want to reduce the tax on income, so let\u2019s reduce it, because that way instead of on income, let\u2019s say they pay 10% or 15%, the Treasury, if 1,000 companies were to come the Treasury would be much more, but much, more wealthy than it is right now.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t get it into my head that Taiwan has a reserve like the monetary reserve 20 years ago in Ecuador, of 100 billion dollars. In Norway there is a multi-million dollar monetary reserve. Therefore it is important that investors come. What are we going to get? When those investors come,\u00a0 they, seeing that they are earning $2 day in Ecuador, in a state of misery, will begin to work in those companies and to be trained. That\u2019s how a man with only a primary education is trained by the company.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say that I give you a company that builds telephones, or a business that builds extinguishers, or an agricultural company, it\u2019s the same businessman who, in order to generate greater profits in his business is going to dedicate himself to training his workers, those poor Ecuadorians and train them. That worker becomes the specialized worker that he needs. On becoming trained and required by him, he automatically starts to earn a basic salary; he could be earning $1,000 dollars. If that man, besides that, at night, which is the idea I have, goes to university, and in that university he goes and dedicates himself to studying, to specializing, whether it\u2019s in banana production, or in computing, or whatever, what\u2019s going to happen? He\u2019s no longer going to be earning $1,000. Now he\u2019s going to earn $2,000 and if that man keeps on training himself in that business, he\u2019s going to form part of the middle class, and he\u2019s going to have what I am offering all Ecuadorians:\u00a0 a cement constructed house, a car, a well-paid job, and safe neighborhoods that will be maintained, because my government will specialize in security. I hope I can convince former New York Mayor, Giuliani, who changed that city from a dangerous one to a safe one.\u00a0 This is going to be achieved by economic growth in Ecuador. It\u2019s going to bring about an end to poverty and that is what I want. I believe in that kind of life. Economist Correa doesn\u2019t believe in that. What does he believe? In the kind of life that Fidel Castro has. Because Fidel Castro is a communist, he believes therefore that money is not necessary and he\u2019s never had money in his life and he has come to have huge feelings towards money. Money spent well is good. What is money spent well? Having money to heal your children, having money for a cement constructed house. Having money for a car. Having money to educate your children. Money well spent is something good. When you don\u2019t have money, your children can die because they didn\u2019t have a doctor or the pills for making them better. So we can say:\u00a0 you can\u2019t eat like you should, you can\u2019t get the preparation that is needed, and even studying becomes difficult.<\/p>\n<p>So I believe that \u00a0Ecuadorians, we want this change and for that reason in every vote, we get nearly half the country voting for our ideas.\u00a0 On the last important occasion, that of 2006, in the second vote, because I found myself in the second round against Economist Correa\u00a0 who had the full support of the MPD, the PRE, of <em>Pachakutik<\/em>, the freedom to vote of the <em>Sociedad Patri\u00f3tica<\/em>, and of many other parties of the extreme left;\u00a0 this time those parties are not going to vote for him in the second round. The public functionary, the police, the bureaucrat, the military, are against him, they are afraid,\u00a0 concerned about losing their jobs; the courts are against him; the transport workers are against him; the Press seems utterly under attack, they are against him \u2013 they\u2019ve already gone through the <em>El Universo<\/em> case, this very day, a journalist from <em>Teleamazonas <\/em>is a fugitive, I\u2019m sorry, he\u2019s not a fugitive, he\u2019s been hounded out: worried, scared, because they have threatened him. Why? For having denounced an act of corruption committed by COFIEC. So, if you start adding up all those people, together with the frustration that those people who receive $2 a day feel, and who want to get out of that poverty, you have more than 65% against Correa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Counselor \u00c1lvaro Noboa, have you ever thought, now that the National Electoral Council has approved the verification of the PRIAN signatures, have you thought, I repeat, in calling on the other political forces to create one bloc and to challenge President Correa in the event that he stands for re-election?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>I have looked for them, I have called them, I have spoken with <em>Sociedad Patri\u00f3tica<\/em>, with Lucio Guti\u00e9rrez, but he, well, he\u2019s taken the position that he believes that he can be President again, and I have told him that he has 3 points against him:\u00a0 he doesn\u2019t have any money, because unfortunately in politics one needs to have money to carry out a campaign; he has already governed once and therefore a lot of people are looking for something different, something new, a great transformation in order to become a better worker of the middle class, and that is giving him in the polls, a very small vote. But he insists that he wants to be the presidential candidate. I have offered him to unite our forces and that I lead the presidential candidacy in light of the polls, and in light of what is noted, what is experienced and felt: this time it\u2019s my turn. Not just that, last Saturday, less than one week ago, we invited other parties to hear my proposals in Assembly of the PRIAN and independents, and 12,000 people appeared. Only in \u201998 were there more than 12,000 people. So, there is an awakening. There is also fear, but there is an awakening and all the time the people are beginning to resent Correa \u00a0more. So that, that abuse, that is causing so much damage, and that is working very much against him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Counselor \u00c1lvaro Noboa, have you called Mr. Guillermo Lasso, Colonel Lucio Gut\u00e9rrez, \u00a0Mr. Alberto Acosta or Mrs. Lourdes Tib\u00e1n, with an offer to create one united front in the next elections in 2013?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>I spoke with Lourdes Tib\u00e1n and I offered her the Vice-Presidency of the Republic, because in \u201998 I won with a leftist Vice-President, with Alfredo Castillo, the Vice-President who was, well, virtually communist, he had been a communist. Today, obviously, he has new ideas, new concepts, etc., etc. He\u2019s a modern man and he and I won the elections, so I thought, fine, Lourdes Tib\u00e1n is a woman of the left, a woman who is loved, an intelligent woman, and I invited her, but she said that she was already a pre-candidate to be the first National Assembly Member for the left. But I\u2019ve left the door open for her. I have left the door open for Lucio Gut\u00ederrez. Hopefully Guillermo Lasso will consider his candidacy well, because unfortunately the banker represents the right. He calls himself a man of the right, I call myself a man of the center-left. Today, to be a banker, to be of the right, is not something, in my point of view, that\u2019s going to attract a big audience and we insist that outside of Guayaquil, outside of some places in Quito, the rest of the country, they hardly know who he is, and I think that it\u2019s not Guillermo\u2019s moment. Perhaps further down the line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Counselor \u00c1lvaro Noboa, how can the quality of life, the standard of living of Ecuadorians be raised. Would it be, perhaps, through State policies, tending to control the quality; would it be perhaps by bringing in foreign capital; would it be by lowering taxes, would it be by creating state policies to stimulate, to incentivize the real sector of the economy?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>In order to improve the standard of living and we would restructure the economy because we are a highly populated country, we have 14 million inhabitants and a territory where more than half aren\u2019t even working. I think that we have to train Ecuadorians and we have to attract national and foreign investment. I am going to give you an example that we see in house all the time. In <em>Industrial Molinera<\/em>, I had an English miller. That Englishman earned between $5,000 and $10,000 dollars with bonuses, etc.\u00a0 etc., a month. He has as his assistant a man on a basic salary who was being promoted into the work of the Englishman. Today, the Englishman was replaced by that Ecuadorian with the basic salary and his salary is now $5,000 dollars, plus the bonus he gets at the end of the year. He transformed himself from a person on a basic, low salary, from a poor person to one of the middle classes. He has an apartment, he has a car, his children are well cared for. I happened to meet him at the airport, because I travel periodically, and he told me: \u201cCounselor, I\u2019m going to Canada to buy oats, I need to go for the mill to buy oats.\u201d He\u2019s a first-rate businessman. I have another example: Mr. Marcos Laines, he was responsible for the maintenance of an apartment which was owned by my organization. That Mr. Marcos Laines has been getting himself the training and has been becoming, little by little, an Assistant. He\u2019s learning English now, at least with what he received when he began to work. He\u2019s now learning English and they\u2019ve also told him to learn computing, they\u2019ve bought him a laptop so that he can develop himself in computers, so that he learns about the Internet, etc. etc. He already owns property that \u00a0he didn\u2019t earn before. Soon, well, he\u2019ll be able to buy himself a car and so he becomes part of the middle classes. We have a lot of examples like that in the organization, within the <em>Grupo Noboa<\/em>, and that\u2019s what responsible companies achieve and I hope to have it as a regulation for the thousand investors, investing companies that will come to Ecuador.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Counselor \u00c1lvaro Noboa, I have the results of a survey taken on September 8, here by <em>Opinion P\u00fablica<\/em>, which states that the economist Mr. Rafael Vincente Correa Delgado has 44%; Mr. Lasso 9%; Mr. Guti\u00e9rrez 5%; Mr. \u00c1lvaro Noboa 2%. What opinion do you think this type of survey deserves?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>That\u2019s got to be the opinion of Santiago Nieto, who is my great friend, a very nice, intelligent man. Santiago Nieto put me in 6<sup>th<\/sup> place in 2006 and the day before the election he called me to say:\u00a0 \u201c\u00c1lvaro, it\u2019s me, Santiago.\u201d\u00a0 At that moment I was heading to the political motorcade, at the end of the campaign. \u201cTell me, Santiago, quickly.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cI want to tell you that you\u2019ve made a comeback from sixth place you\u2019ve gone to first place in 15 day.\u201d \u201cFine, thank you, Santiago.\u201d So that\u2019s how those pollsters function. They take surveys for certain people. We all now for whom he works, and well, they put what they want and if you would ask Correa for a survey, he will put himself at 80%, that is to say, each one&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019m the only one who can tell you; it\u2019s that our surveys we have clearly told the public have been carried out. In 2006, when they put me in sixth, our pollsters said that we were going to win the elections, and we won the elections. In \u201998, when they said that Mahuad was going to sweep ahead of me, we won the elections. So, for that reason, no, I\u2019ve got no other option than to believe in our own, which is proven, and where no expense has been spared, not even one cent, because there are certain pollsters, who, when they are shameless \u2013 Santiago Nieto doesn\u2019t belong to that category \u2013 are being paid because they go to the corner and bring false papers and carry out a survey where \u201cthey tell you what you want to hear, right.\u201d But, in the area of marketing, and the survey that we use in the industrial area for products like <em>Quaker, Maizabrosa Caf\u00e9, <\/em>etc. and in the political area, we have a team of people who know the political methodology and who do this in all seriousness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Counselor \u00c1lvaro Noboa, finally\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>How, how is it then that with 2% we have 900,000 signatures of which, well, they have returned 202,000 approved, that you and I know has been a means of the government to see how they can disqualify everybody, because I had to take\u2026. I had to get 900,000 signatures, of which we took a bit over 600,000 to the Electoral Council so that they would approve 202,000. I believe that in the eyes of the Ecuadorians\u2026Ah! I\u2019ll tell you two more things so that you will see. In an interview like yours, <em>Radio Sucre<\/em>, at the end of the interview called on the public to say who they would vote for. Everyone said \u00c1lvaro Noboa. Everyone! So, then, I\u2019ll also tell you that the 12,000 who went to the Assembly are also a demonstration, the number of people who have signed now for the PRIAN, is also a demonstration. And how am I going to believe the nonsense that the government states, or other interested parties?<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA: <\/strong>\u00a0Counselor \u00c1lvaro Noboa, our time is up.\u00a0 A concrete response to the following question.\u00a0 In the event that you become President of the Republic, will you maintain the monetary scheme of the dollar?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c1LVARO NOBOA:\u00a0 <\/strong>Yes, I would maintain the dollar monetary scheme. Ecuador had the <em>sucre<\/em>, which had continuous devaluations. That caused terrible problems for the people and it kept being impoverished, impoverished, impoverished. Today the dollar, whatever happens, one knows that there won\u2019t be a devaluation and more than 50% of the products around the world are made in dollars. Therefore, we are using a money that is typically used by producers around the world in order to commercialize their products , which allows us to have greater power of acquisition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KLEBER CHICA:\u00a0 <\/strong>In the name of all the radio listeners, we thank Counselor \u00c1lvaro Noboa Pont\u00f3n for this presentation, here at the microphones of <em>Huancavilca 830 AM<\/em>.
