Noboa’s not messing about - Taking out the Trash25 Oct 2025 20:03
Noboa’s iron first forces end of CONAIE’s national strike in Ecuador.
After more than 30 days of demonstrations, roadblocks, military convoys, repression, clashes, marches, sit-ins, and more, the national strike called by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) has ended.
An absolute victory for Noboa?
Many have seen CONAIE’s latest decision as a clear defeat for the Indigenous movement and, consequently, a victory for Noboa’s neoliberal government, which seeks to strictly comply with the program imposed by the International Monetary Fund. Indeed, Noboa, unlike his predecessors, managed to uphold his decision, at least for now.
