| dbo:abstract | The 2015 Ecuadorian protests were a series of protests against the government of President Rafael Correa. Protests began in the first week of June, triggered by legislation increasing inheritance and capital gains taxes. By August, an alliance of rural farmworkers, Indigenous federations such as CONAIE, student groups, and labor unions had organised protests involving hundreds of thousands of people with a wide range of grievances, including the controversial tax laws; constitutional amendments removing presidential term limits; expanding oil and mining projects; water, education, and labour policies; a proposed free trade agreement with the European Union; and increasing repression of freedom of speech. On August 15, the government declared a state of exception that allowed the military to crackdown on protests. Protestors blocked roads and declared a general strike in August. Violence and human rights violations were reported in clashes between militarised police and protestors. Protestors stated that Correa wanted to follow "the same path as Venezuela’s government," creating a "criminal war of classes," while President Correa stated that the protests were aimed at destabilizing the government, and the proposed measures were for combatting inequality. (en) El 8 de junio de 2015, una serie de protestas comenzaron en Ecuador contra el Gobierno presidido por Rafael Correa. Los manifestantes expresaron su oposición al Gobierno Nacional, criticando su modelo político y económico; a la vez que rechazaron los proyectos de ley que el gobierno del presidente Rafael Correa envió a la Asamblea Nacional, sobre la oficialización de un impuesto a las herencias y a la plusvalía, la aplicación de salvaguardias arancelarias a ciertas importaciones para remediar la caída internacional del precio del petróleo, además de un veto a la Ley Orgánica de Régimen Especial de la Provincia de Galápagos, entre otros reclamos. Las marchas iniciaron en las ciudades de Guayaquil, Quito, Cuenca y Puerto Ayora, aumentándose progresivamente otras a lo largo del país durante el resto del año. El presidente Correa admitió que estas manifestaciones forman parte de una de las crisis más graves del gobierno, comparable únicamente a los incidentes del 30-S. (es) |
