Alausi
Cries of euphoria, discontent, rejection and displeasure towards the Government were experienced in the streets of Alausí.
On the afternoon of this Tuesday, June 14, 2022, several community members from different parishes and rural sectors joined this second day of national strike in the Alausí canton, exactly on the E35 south Pan-American highway, this time at the Champisti Gas Station. .
With dump trucks on the Panamericana Sur, they prevented access to the city. Under the direction of the president of the Andean Parliament, of the Alausí Canton, Luis Paltan, a peaceful march broke out against the current government. “We want the freedom of our brother Leonidas Iza, he should not be detained, rather he should be here with us fighting for our rights,” he mentioned.
To your voice, long live unemployment! and the united people will never be defeated! Protestants from different communities began to parade through the streets of the Alausí canton; starting from the Bomba Champisti, with a route on av. June 5, Plaza Jesús Camañero until concentrating on Plazoleta Guayaquil in front of the GAD of Alausí. Where the presidents of the different communities were present, announcing a list of activities that will be carried out over the course of the days, if a solution is not found.
“You treat us like anyone else, as if we were thieves, that’s how you treat us, Mr. Lasso. We ask that you listen to us, that you open your ears and use your thoughts in favor of all of Ecuador, because now we will no longer allow ourselves to be humiliated, and we ask for the freedom of our partner Iza, because we are going to be in the streets of Alausí, Riobamba and other cities, until you listen to us,” stated the Leader of the Charicando community.
On the other hand, Leonidas Simbaña, president of the García Moreno Organization, stated that the actions taken by the president were not good for the country. He also calls on all people to join the fight for the well-being of the people since It is not fair that the peasant sector works too hard and that the government raises the prices of basic foodstuffs. “In your campaign, Mr. President, you had promised us many things, but now you turn a deaf ear and are not listening to the people.”
“We are seeking to reach an agreement, the fight is against the government and not against the people, we intend to reach an agreement and try to solve this situation as soon as possible,” said Manuel Quezada, protester.
