by Rebeca Mendoza | June 27, 2022 | Volume 6, Issue 38

The closure of the roads that connect Azuay with the rest of the country hits the productive sector of Cuenca.

So who is Leonidas Iza, the president of the Conaie?

by Rebeca Mendoza | June 27, 2022 | Volume 6, Issue 38

The name Leonidas Iza became relevant in the national strike of October 2019. Since then, his political profile has been on the rise, and now he is one of the main opponents of the Guillermo Lasso government. The arrest of Leonidas Iza, after leading the first day of mobilizations in the framework of the national […]

by Rebeca Mendoza | June 27, 2022 | Volume 6, Issue 38

From the beginning of the indigenous mobilizations on June 13, 2022, the Government and Conaie have both presented their arguments for and against the national strike. There has also been a lot of confusion as to what Conaie has demanded and how the government has responded to those demands—or if the Government agreed to any […]

A conspiracy theory isn’t always wrong

by Rebeca Mendoza | June 27, 2022 | Volume 6, Issue 38

Well, I had hoped that I wouldn’t be talking about this ‘national strike’ any longer (the finger quotes are because calling this protest a strike is like calling a fish a hammer). I had hoped that sense could win out and that the people in charge of both sides would not play a political game, […]
