The intention of protesters is to 'stage coup' despite having been offered dialogue, says Ecuador's President Lasso as Indigenous demonstrations engulf the nation
Demonstrators clash with riot police nearby El Ejido park, in Quito, on June 24, 2022, in the framework of Indigenous-led protests against the government.
Shortly after he spoke on Friday, thousands of protesters throwing rocks and shooting off fireworks again clashed with police near the congress building in Quito. Police and soldiers repelled them with tear gas. Most of the ire is concentrated on the capital Quito, where some 10,000 people, most from other parts of the country, are protesting.
But the action has been costly, with losses of some $50 million per day to the economy, and production of fuel — Ecuador's biggest export — halved, according to the Energy Ministry.
