The demonstrations of last Wednesday were a success, said the president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE), Jorge Herrera, so they are already planning three protest actions.

Carchi, Azuay, Guayas, Morona Santiago, Tungurahua, Cotopaxi, Loja and Imbabura were the provinces that joined the protests, said Herrera.

Ecuarunari plans a national mobilization for October 12 (Day of the Race) as an emblematic date. Trade unions pose a march on November 15 (commemoration day of a slaughter of workers in Guayaquil), a historical day for the Ecuadorian labor movement, informed Carlos Perez Guartambel, president of the Ecuarunari.

He added they will give the Government a deadline until the second week of November to file the constitutional amendment, and in case of not doing so they will convene a strike of at least 48 hours.

Perez Guartambel said the the Ecuarunari raised, in addition, to implement Section 444 of the Constitution to convene a Constituent Assembly and “dismantle the correism.”
