I will regain the presidency by way of the constitution, the truth and popular support.

I hope our initiative will prompt an international echo, so that the Andean countries, Latin America, and the whole world will put pressure on Ecuador to bring back justice.

Lucio Gutierrez is innocent of the charges, ... I ask you, your honors, to do justice (and) revoke the unjust imprisonment order.

They have detained him.

Should be in prison paying for the crime of sedition and overthrowing the legitimate government of Lucio Gutierrez, and Lucio Gutierrez should continue governing honestly.

I renounce (asylum) for political, civic and patriotic reasons to return immediately to Ecuador and retake power.

I will use all legal and constitutional means to retake power.
