Ecuador: Lenin Moreno Decrees State of Exception Amid “IMF Package” Protests (Democracy Lima Group Style)

October 3, 2019

The president of Ecuador, Lenín Moreno, decreed on Thursday a state of exception in the South American country in response to the strong demonstrations that have been generated after the application of the recent economic measures, today called “package”.

“I have arranged a State of Exception to protect order, citizen security and in order to control those who intend to cause chaos. We will not accept blackmail and we will act according to the law,” said the ruler through his Twitter account.

Among other things the new IMF package reduced vacation days from 30 to 15 for workers and lifted the subsidy on gasoline, provoking an increase of 130% on this essential item.

No accederemos a chantajes y actuaremos acorde a la ley. #NoAlParo #DecididosACrecer pic.twitter.com/sLVyIljQ7Y

He said: “The measures we take together are firm, there is no possibility of change, especially those related to the subsidy that causes so much damage to the country.”

After this decree the President of the Republic may:
