Ecuador national strike raises pressure on defiant Moreno
QUITO - Indigenous-led protesters marched by the thousands during a national strike on Wednesday after President Lenin Moreno refused to step down or overturn anti-austerity measures that have triggered the worst unrest in a decade.
“Our flag is red, like the blood of the working class!” chanted marchers in Quito, beside graffiti against President Lenin Moreno and the International Monetary Fund .here“What the government has done is reward the big banks, the capitalists, and punish poor Ecuadoreans,” said Mesias Tatamuez, head of the Workers’ United Front umbrella union.
The demonstrators’ main demand is the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy cut, which has sent transport and food prices soaring, though some were also urging Moreno to quit. One man died after he was hit by a car and an ambulance could not reach him amid the chaos, while another two people fell off a bridge during protests, with some unconfirmed reports that they died.
