The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) confirmed on Wednesday that they will mobilize nationwide on November 15 following the political situation that Ecuador is experiencing under the administration of Daniel Noboa.

By pointing out 11 fundamental points of struggle, the president of CONAIE, Leonidas Iza Salazar, pointed out that “Ecuador does not deserve a spoiled person as president. Ecuadorians need a president who works 24 hours a day for the Ecuadorians, Mr. Noboa, the first decision you should make is to decide if 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, caused by the government of Daniel Noboa.

“Cancellation of the advertising contract of 5 million dollars, redirecting those funds to the payment of debts with dialysis clinics; immediate collection of outstanding debts with the IRS, amounting to 264 million dollars, including the Exportadora Bananera Noboa; guarantee transparency in the contracting of the electricity sector”, are among CONAIE's demands 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 the payment of the social debt to the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion (MIES), which is facing a serious resource crisis.

Likewise, CONAIE insists on ensuring labor stability to protect workers from massive layoffs, respect for the fair price of milk and the immediate filing of the Integral Agrarian Code.

CONAIE also calls for a great national unity.

It also called to participate in the Counter Summit of the Peoples and Nationalities in Resistance this November 13, 14 and 15 in the city of Cuenca, a space that arises as a critical response to the Ecuador 2024
