Deaf ear to the protests

The aprons of doctors have been hung on the outside of some hospitals in Quito, expressing rejection to content of Organic Penal Code that criminalizing so-called “malpractice” They announced a massive waive if the government does not change the Article 146 thereof...

Women’s organizations and feminists reject the National Assembly also not entered in the COIP the right to abortion in cases of rape.

Women of the Amazon traveled hundreds of miles to get to Quito, to make known their opposition to the government’s extractive policies, particularly to oil exploitation in their territories and the risk of committing a genocide, against the peoples Tagaeri and Taromenane, if exploited oil reserves in Yasuni.

The campaign to collect signatures to force the government to call a referendum, to solve whether or not oil exploitation in Yasuní, has begun with much enthusiasm and youth groups act primarily for that purpose in the country.

The complains are growing against to CNE against to the use of state resources to promote, through the media and electoral intentions clear the image of mayors and governors support the government.

There are protest actions on all sides. The country is not an island of peace and growing discontent, the claims target is the central government and institutions that are at your service.

The government’s response is in keeping with its essence: the arrogance. Rafael Correa says doctors may resign and replace them with foreign doctors, threatened to resign if his Assembly approve the abortion and now try to intimidate and apply the revocation of the mandate; Amazonian women who arrived to Quito were told to walk as much or more than they did to meet with him in Pañacocha; CNE president cynically says the allegations are correct, but does nothing to prevent it.

While the protest did not has a stronger and more forceful the government will act with the arrogance that characterizes him. We must generalize the struggle and raise their levels to break the government.

The country is not an island of peace and growing discontent white claims is the central government and institutions that are at your service.
