(CNN Spanish) - This Wednesday in the CNN Conclusions in Spanish program, the president of Ecuador, Lenín Moreno, spoke about the economic adjustment plan and the reactions it was going to produce.

Look here the key phrases of the interview:

1. “Correa is a fugitive from justice”

In conversation with Fernando del Rincón about the serious situation that plunges Ecuador, Moreno denounced that the protests were planned before his electoral triumph and that "evidence abounds" regarding this planning. Moreno also commented on the statements of former President Rafael Correa that he would consider running for the Ecuadorian executive.

This Tuesday, President Lenín Moreno, blamed - without evidence - former President Rafael Correa and the questioned President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, for carrying out a destabilization plan in Ecuador. The response, both from Correa and Maduro, was not long in coming. On Tuesday, Correa spoke on CNN about Moreno and criticized his measures. "He was always a puppet since he took over the government," he said in Perspectives from Buenos Aires.

"We want him to anticipate elections," Correa told Juan Pablo Varsky. "There is a constitutional and democratic way out, and that is what we are asking for," he added.

2. Many of those captured “have to do with terrorist groups”

Moreno is paying a high political price for the credit line of the International Monetary Fund. The cost has virtually paralyzed the country with suspended classes, closed shops and street protests. The president thanked the indigenous movement for its peaceful movement and added that there were infiltrated groups that caused conflicts near the Government Palace. "Many of them have been captured and truly identified their origin, which has a lot to do with terrorist groups, and you will know it later," he said without offering further evidence.

3. “The life of the president is not the most important, the most important thing is the maintenance of order and peace”

Moreno moved the government headquarters to Guayaquil, where a peace march was held on Wednesday. The protesters, many dressed in white as a symbolic gesture, rejected vandalism. Meanwhile, in Quito, there was a march of the indigenous movement and another of workers and university students in which clashes and police interventions occurred. Moreno explained that so that state officials could go to the Presidential Palace and continue the dialogue, he decided to move the headquarters.

4. “There are several organizations that claim to be the representatives of the indigenous people”

The Government of Ecuador announced preliminary contacts Wednesday with indigenous groups protesting in the streets of the country. However, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) denied the Government and denied that there is any kind of dialogue with leaders of the movement. During Conclusions, Fernando del Rincón received a statement from indigenous leaders denouncing irregular detentions. President Moreno reacted to the statements. Look at the video:
