Hundreds of Indigenous people enter Ecuador's capital Quito, following almost a week of protests against the economic and social policies of President Lasso
Indigenous people and peasants remain at a blockade in Cutuglagua neighbourhood, southern Quito, as they wait for the arrival of their comrades who are mobilising from the Province of Cotopaxi.
Indigenous protesters arrived in trucks, cars, and on foot on Sunday amid a state of exception declared by Lasso in three provinces - including that of Quito - in a bit to curb protests that have at times seen violence, with police captured, and attacks on oil industry and flower farms. Protests began on Monday with a list of 10 demands, including a fuel price cut, preventing further expansion of Ecuador's oil and mining industry, and more time for small and medium sized farmers to pay their debts.
"We have come to resist a neoliberal policy that affects the poor more and more," Leonidas Iza, president of the CONAIE Indigenous organisation, said over social media.
