Advierten que el proyecto debilita la consulta previa y flexibiliza los controles ambientales

The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) has raised significant concerns regarding a mining law introduced by President Noboa, warning that it promotes an extractivist model which jeopardizes collective rights, ancestral lands, and essential water sources.

El proyecto de ley de minería presentado por el mandatario derechita ha provocado una respuesta por parte del movimiento indígena, que alerta de un grave debilitamiento de las garantías ambientales y de los derechos colectivos

Out of more than 700 reports we received, we validated 391, meaning that these reports constitute human rights violations. From those reports, we were able to identify various figures, including 206 individuals detained, 473 injured (at least 25 severely), and two fatalities due to public violence," explained Vivian Idrobo, a member of the Alliance of Organizations for Human Rights.

"De más de 700 reportes que recibimos, validamos 391; eso quiere decir que 391 reportes que recibimos configuran violaciones de derechos humanos. De esos reportes pudimos identificar varias cifras, entre ellas, 206 personas detenidas, 473 personas heridas, al menos 25 graves, dos personas fallecidas por uso de la violencia pública", señaló Vivian Idrobo integrante de la Alianza de Organizaciones por los Derechos Humanos.

The decision by CONAIE comes after the brutal repression ordered by Noboa against popular mobilizations that extended for more than a month in Ecuador. However, the indigenous movement emphasized that the "struggle does not end."

La decisión de la CONAIE se produce tras la brutal represión ordenada por Noboa a las movilizaciones populares que se extendieron en Ecuador por más de un mes. Sin embargo desde el movimiento indígena enfatizaron que la “lucha no termina”.

CONAIE reported that "for 30 days, the government of Daniel Noboa has responded with bullets, tear gas, and arrests to a people demanding justice and dignity."
