Quito, Jan 25 (EFE), (Camera: Juan Francisco Chávez).- Less than two weeks before elections in Ecuador, the country's president, Lenín Moreno, continues to keep his distance from the electoral process and assures he will transfer the government with its "accounts in order" and not as an "ambush" like the one he claims he inherited from his predecessor in 2017.SOUNDBITES OF ECUADOR'S PRESIDENT LENIN MORENO:"We found a country that was said to be prepared and it was not true, it was not real.""The president insisted, he told me we had to keep the revolution project he had already started and, to be honest, I trusted his words. I even believed the situation in which he said he left the country was real. But it was not.""From the beginning of my term and even before I said I would respect (democratic) institutionality, that I would not interfere in the judiciary power as the previous government had done and that I would respect the autonomy and independence of powers. ""If they want to investigate me, they are more than welcome. What I truly recommend is not to break (democratic) institutionality, not to interfere in the judiciary so we can keep believing in it because there is nothing more frustrating for a human being that not trusting (democratic) institutionality."
