"Our flags are red as the blood of the workers!", "Lenin Moreno - away!", "Lenin, it is enough to drink our blood!", "We fight for our land!", "Stop the false Lenin's horror!", "Vladimir Lenin - yes! Moreno Lenin - no! "," Lenin, ciao! "- protesters in Ecuador say.
Mainly indigenous people protest not only against the abolition of government subsidies for fuel and socially-important goods, but also against the reform of labor legislation aimed to reducing the workers' rights, and against the concessions to large companies (especially foreign ones, with Chinese capital) for the extraction of minerals on the lands of indigenous tribes. Radicalization is growing rapidly - as many as 446 people have been injured during the protests, and 714 have been arrested.
