The President of the Republic, Guillermo Lasso, announced new actions that the National Government will take regarding the national strike called by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (Conaie). This was done through the national chain on the night of this Friday, June 17.
One of the actions that he decided to apply is the state of exception in the provinces of Pichincha, Cotopaxi and Imbabura as of midnight on June 17, 2022.
Additionally, "to alleviate the difficult situation of many families" he pointed out that:
🔸The human development bonus will be increased to USD 55.
🔸An emergency is declared in the public health system.
🔸The budget for intercultural education will be doubled
🔸50% of the price of urea (fertilizer) will be subsidized for small and medium producers.

🔸There will be no increase in diesel, gas and extra gasoline and ecocountry.
🔸There will be no privatization of public services
🔸Banecuador will forgive all overdue credits up to USD 3,000
The state of exception will last 30 days.
The Executive Decree determines that the right to freedom of association and assembly is suspended in the aforementioned provinces; which limits the formation of crowds in public spaces 24 hours a day.
Additionally, freedom of movement is restricted, so a curfew is decreed in the Metropolitan District of Quito (DMQ) from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
The following sectors are excepted from the curfew restriction:
🔸Health services of the comprehensive public health network and the complementary private network.
🔸Public security, complementary private security and risk management and emergency services.
🔸Road emergency services.
🔸Public servants of the Ministry of Government and the Ministry of the Interior.
🔸Public servants or personnel of contractors of public entities that certify that they must travel to ensure the continuity of public services.
🔸Workers in the logistics chain of the export sector, who must demonstrate that they work in a company within said sector and, if applicable, the legality of the cargo they transport.
🔸People who must travel to and from airports for scheduled flights within curfew hours.
🔸Lawyers, as long as they prove the need to attend a judicial proceeding, officials of the Constitutional Court and public servants of the Judicial Function.
🔸Social media workers.
🔸Workers in strategic sectors defined as such in the Constitution.
The President ended his speech by inviting dialogue. "United, sitting at a table, we will find solutions that alleviate the situation of Ecuadorian families."
What does the Conaie say?
On the night of Thursday, June 16, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (Conaie) gave the Government an ultimatum to give answers to the list of demands demanded by the indigenous movement.
According to the indigenous leader, the Conaie rejected the dialogue until the results of the 10 petitions to the Government are made public.
Around 9:15 p.m. this Friday, June 17, Conaie issued a statement calling on its members not to allow vandalism, violence and identify infiltrators who want to generate chaos. "The protest must be carried out with a clear agenda, dignity and collective conscience," the statement said."

23SEP26 #Ecuador 🇪🇨 "An analysis published by CNN en Español examines several Latin American presidents who maintain political ties with Donald Trump and who, after winning elections with radical rhetoric, face social, economic, or governance challenges.
Among the cases examined are Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa , along with Javier Milei in Argentina; José Antonio Kast in Chile; Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia; and Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. CNN also analyzes recently inaugurated presidents in Honduras, Peru, and Colombia.
The publication argues that these leaders capitalized on public discontent with traditional governments and parties by proposing economic adjustments, security measures, and confrontation with their adversaries. However, it posits that this electoral strategy faces limitations when it must translate into effective governance.
Ecuador: security under question
In the Ecuadorian case, CNN focuses part of its analysis on the security strategy promoted by Noboa.
The president declared the internal armed conflict in ...
16SEP26💯%Choneros🚀"On Sept. 16, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM)
forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.
Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization.
Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it.
JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.
"Alongside our Ecuadorian partners, we are relentlessly pursuing narco-terrorists who prey on our citizens,
undermine hemispheric security, and leave death and suffering in their wake. This deliberate, lawful, and precise operation saves lives and makes our citizens—from Ecuador to the United States—safer." -

"It is an absurdity, it is laughable, to speak of such a
pending disaster as "The End of the World."
We are discussing the end of Humanity, or we are discussing the
end of Civilization, or we are perhaps even discussing
the end of some this or that Empire that we mistakenly
believe to identify with.
The end of the world will come when the sun
expands and engulfs it.
Now, is it truly a surprise that our discourse relates
economic tragedy with an ecological one?
That we actually behave as though a marked downturn in
the Market can somehow be compared to the death of Nature?
We are so enamored with our vastness and resource that we have forgotten the lark and the sparrow.
So I say, come armageddon. Come, you horsemen.
Let us speak these things no more."
