QUITO - Indigenous-led protesters began a national strike in Ecuador on Wednesday after President Lenin Moreno refused to step down or overturn anti-austerity measures that have triggered the worst unrest in a decade.
Violent demonstrations erupted in the Andean nation of 17 million people a week ago when Moreno cut fuel subsidies as part of a package of measures in line with a $4.2 billion International Monetary Fund loan. “I don’t see why I should if I’m making the right decisions,” he said, arguing that Ecuador’s large debt and fiscal deficit meant belt-tightening reforms were unavoidable.With Quito seeing the worst of the unrest, Moreno has relocated his government to the coastal city of Guayaquil.
