Durante 18 días en junio, el pueblo de Ecuador,
liderado por los indígenas y los más pobres, se
enfrentó a la austeridad hasta el final. Decenas de
miles de personas levantaron barricadas en las
carreteras y paralizaron la capital y gran parte del
país. Ocho personas murieron y cientos resultaron
heridas por la policía. Liderados por la Confederación
de Nacionalidades Indígenas de Ecuador (CONAIE), los
pobres y los trabajadores obtuvieron importantes
concesiones económicas y políticas, y otras demandas
están en negociación.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
