Protesters are demanding a cut in already subsidized fuel prices, which have risen sharply in recent months, as well as jobs, food price controls, and more public spending on healthcare and education.

Preşedintele Ecuadorului, Guillermo Lasso, a pus capăt stării de urgenţă pe care a declarat-o în şase provincii, ca răspuns la protestele indigenilor.
Liderii indigeni au cerut ca preşedintele să revoce starea de urgenţă, drept o condiţie pentru dialog. Demonstraţiile din ultimele două săptămâni, declanşate de nemulţumirile privind preţul carburanţilor şi costul vieţii, au cauzat perturbări majore în Ecuador./mbrotacel/csimion
