Last night, In an unprecedented public dialogue between the indigenous movement and the Ecuadorian government, President Moreno announced the repeal of Decree 883, ending an eleven-day strike that paralyzed the country and was met with brutal police repression against indigenous peoples.
The annulment of the decree, an economic austerity package that dramatically cut subsidies and unilaterally imposed labor concessions, was a central demand of the indigenous movement, along with an end to oil and mining extraction.
A United Nations-mediated commission of government and indigenous representatives will work on a new plan to supplant this decree.
