The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) confirmed this Wednesday that they will mobilize at the national level on November 15 after the political situation in Ecuador under the management of Daniel Noboa.
In highlighting 11 fundamental points of struggle, the president of CONAIE, Leonidas Iza Salazar, pointed out that “Ecuador does not deserve a spoiled president. Ecuadorians need a president who works 24 hours for the Ecuadorians, Mr Noboa, the first decision you must make is to decide whether you are a candidate or do something for the Ecuadorian people”.
After the Assembly of Peoples and Social Organizations of Ecuador, held in the auditorium of CONAIE, the organization announced the first actions in response to the crisis facing the country, provoked by the government of Daniel Noboa.
“Cancellation of the $5 million advertising contract, redirecting these funds to pay debts with dialysis clinics; immediate recovery of outstanding debts with the SRI, amounting to $264 million, including Exportadora Bananera Noboa; Ensuring transparency in the procurement of electricity”, are the demands of CONAIE to the government of Daniel Noboa.
CONAIE also demands the eradication of illegal mining to safeguard the environment and water sources; that the Armed Forces respect the Constitution and pay the social debt to the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion (MIES), which is facing a severe resource crisis.
Similarly, CONAIE insists on ensuring job stability to protect workers from mass layoffs, respect the fair price of milk and immediate filing of the Comprehensive Agrarian Code.
The CONAIE also calls for a great national unity.
Also called to participate in the Counter-Summit of Peoples and Nationalities in Resistance this November 13, 14 and 15 in the city of Cuenca, a space that emerges as a critical response to the Ecuador 2024 Summit by Daniel Noboa.
