After President Guillermo Lasso declared by Executive Decree No. 463 a state of emergency in Azuay, Imbabura, SucumbĂos and Orellana, due to serious internal unrest, Twitter users complained that the province of Pichincha was not included and more so before the scenarios that arose in 17 days of protests. Especially since tomorrow the mobilization in Quito announced by the natives of Cotopaxi is expected.
Pichincha leads the trends of this social network. Comments, complaints and opinions regarding this state of exception are read. They also evoke the recent violent events in the capital as well as the blocking of roads which has prevented the normal functioning of certain activities.
If he puts a state of emergency in Pichincha, the capital Conaie will burn. It would be the excuse they were waiting for. I think something else is cooking under the table. I still have faith in Lasso.

President @LassoGuillermo those of us who support him to defend democracy, do not understand why Pichincha has not included in a new emergency dec. You don’t watch TV news and rs? or are your advisers not telling you that Quito continues to be attacked and kidnapped by violent mobs? React, for God’s sake

Exactly Quito and Pichincha in the hands of these terrorist vandals

@LassoGuillermo and Pichincha? Remember where the “peaceful” came with the intention of overthrowing you since they couldn’t take you out! To be coherent!

The mayor of Quito, Santiago Guarderas, has asked President Guillermo Lasso to assess the relevance of restoring a state of exception in the capital, due to the indigenous protests against the cost of living, which have already lasted for 17 days, with the city as the epicenter.
The request is based on the fact that “unidentified persons have been shown to set fire to property, block roads, puncture and burn vehicle tires, loot, damage public and private property, generating terror and panic among citizens,” a statement read. of the Municipality. .
