SAT 08JUN24- 'Leonidas Iza calls transporters to a Conaie convention, this Saturday, June 8, to define measures to release gasoline prices — The transport sector, specifically taxi drivers and tricycles, has had meetings with the Government to learn about the compensation system.--
"The indigenous sector will define this Saturday, June 8, in a convention the measures to be taken regarding the liberalization of fuel prices proposed by the Government, within which mobilizations are not ruled out. And to this end, he also called on the transport sector to join these dialogues to analyze compensation for fuels.
This was indicated by Leonidas Iza, president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (Conaie), this Tuesday, June 4, during an interview on radio Pichincha. “On Saturday we will define in the convention to which we are called, not only the indigenous movement, but other sectors: transporters, let's convene, let's sit down for a day and analyze. We had said: it will be lethal to increase the VAT (value added tax) from 12% to 15%, but on top of that they continue to ask for handouts from the different sectors and if they also increase the price of fuel, this is going to be lethal. “Not for all Ecuadorians, but for the poor,” said Iza.
The value of the subsidy per gallon of extra gasoline is almost $0.59 and in the ecopaís gallon it is higher: $0.80, according to data from Petroecuador.
The transportation sector, through taxis and (rural) vans, were named last week by the Minister of Energy (e), Roberto Luque, along with outboard motors, as part of the sectors that will receive compensation after the prices of extra gasoline and ecopaís are released, for which there is still no defined date. However, there are meetings with sectors that will receive compensation, one of them taxi driving.
For example, one of these approaches took place on Friday, May 31, by the Undersecretary of Land and Railway Transportation, Fernando Amador, and the governor of Guayas, Vicente Auad, who met with representatives of the taxi sector in the province of Guayas and the tricymottos, a group that would also be included in the compensation, to explain the mechanism through which they will receive compensation, although a start date was not defined at that meeting either.
For his part, Iza assured that it is not a threat to say that they are going to take to the streets and recalled that in the strikes of 2019 and 2022 they managed to "stop the total imposition of the International Monetary Fund." “Can you imagine what it would have meant if we had not eliminated Decree 883 in 2019? It meant a 127% increase,” said Iza.
In addition, last Monday Iza indicated that it would be important to resume the 2022 proposal, which was the targeting of subsidies and to remove the subsidy from the tuna, shrimp and mining industries, thereby recovering $1.4 billion..." - #Ecuador #Conaie #subsides #fuel -

01JUL25 - SOUTHCOM’s TMPI: Towards Integrated Deterrence in the Americas by Building Maintenance Capacity- #ECUADOR - "Analyzing Ecuador’s foreign policy trajectory over the past two decades is pertinent to illuminating the region’s evolving political and security landscape. During President Rafael Correa’s administration between 2007 and 2017, Ecuador pivoted by severing its military relations with the US.
This comprehensive shift included ordering the closure of the security cooperation office in the US Embassy and honoring but not renewing the lease term for the Manta Air Base, causing the withdrawal of approximately 300 US military personnel stationed there.
However, this period of strained relations was followed by the re-establishment of the Office of Security Cooperation (OSC) in 2018, signaling a potential shift that ultimately materialized with new military cooperation agreements signed with the US in 2023 under President Lasso and ratified in 2024 by President Daniel Noboa. ...
