March in opposition to Ecuador's Noboa ends in clashes
A march by social organizations against Ecuador’s government ended in clashes with riot police in the capital Quito, as tensions rose over President Daniel Noboa’s proposed referendum.
Members of the Indigenous group CONAIE, the United Workers Front (FUT), the Ecuadorian Confederation of Free Trade Union Organizations (CEOSL), the National Union of Educators (UNE), and other civil society groups took to the streets on Thursday to protest what they described as authoritarian and ineffective governance.
Riot police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators near the city center. Protesters criticized Noboa’s plan to spend $80 million on a national referendum, accusing him of pressuring the Constitutional Court and failing to address urgent issues like unemployment, medicine shortages, and lack of school supplies.
On the same day, President Noboa led a pro-government march in Guayaquil.
