After the refusal to approve the Law for the Attraction of Investments On the part of the National Assembly, Lasso indicated that different alternatives and paths are being analyzed to continue with effective management:
Using decrees, regulations and “one of them is the popular consultation, in which we are working and I am going to dedicate myself in a special way this week and submit to the consideration of the Ecuadorian people what the National Assembly has refused to deal with in the last 10 months (…). We are not going to stay with our arms crossed. We have the door open for those assembly members who want to contribute to the development of the country”.
Dialogue yes, agreements no. I will continue to govern by and for the people. My only concern is to get Ecuadorians ahead. We will find our way to create jobs, reactivate the economy, attract investment and make Ecuador a country of opportunities for all.

“The government must find its own cause to find the well-being of Ecuadorians and not waste time sending more laws to the National Assembly (…). We will continue to work with great enthusiasm and dedication, gaining strength even in the face of adversity in an Assembly that has not really wanted to worry regarding the development of the country”.
ON COMPLAINT AGAINST ASSEMBLY MEMBERS
