Leonidas Iza, president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (Conaie), considered the declaration of cross death as "a covert self-coup, supported by boots and bayonets."
the conaie rejected this wednesday at a press conference the dissolution of Parliament ordered by Lasso, and warned about the privatization plans that would apparently be hidden behind the measure.
Iza assured that they declare themselves in "permanent vigil in defense of the interests of the Ecuadorian people."
He also called the attitude of the head of state that he only sought to avoid the political trial of censorship that the Ecuadorian National Assembly was carrying out, under the accusation of embezzlement (embezzlement).
El indigenous leader He reiterated that the credibility of President Lasso is 10%, and warned of a broad rejection by the population of the government of the conservative president.
He insisted that Lasso has decreed the death cross to take advantage of the fact that it allows him to govern through executive decrees, so he would be willing to approve unpopular laws such as privatization, labor and financial reforms.
