I had the chance to speak to someone who is the representative of this organisation at the alternative parliament who is currently debating a strategy for the coming days. He said at least 40.000 indigenas are expected to come into the city, but the mobilisation involve many sectors of society. He said also that international observers are expected to come in the next days and that they hope that from then on the news will be spread internationaly. So far the state controlled media has been promoting non stop lies about how wonderful the neoliberal policies have been in the last years.
Nobody believes it anymore.
Luciano the following is - a fwd letter sent by Spanish students currently in Ecuador. This is a rough translation I did, feel free to correct the English. Please distribute this message as wide as you can and organise yourself to find ways of supporting peoples struggle in Ecuador. It is possible that United States may react with repression in case this popular movement succeeds in his attempt to overthrow the power. We ask you to create the necessary conditions for such a network to function.
