Since 1996, the Pachakutik electoral Country Email List political movement, founded and commanded (not without tensions) by Conaie, has successfully participated in local elections in several Amazon and Sierra provinces and formed left and Country Email List center-left coalitions to participate in national elections. His best national electoral participation occurred in February 2021, after the popular uprising of October 2019, when Yaku Pérez Guartambel, his presidential Country Email List candidate, won 20% of the votes and was about to go to the second round. In the current call, Conaie is not alone.
It has coordinated its actions and Country Email List declarations with two national rural organizations with an indigenous and peasant social base, the Council of Evangelical Indigenous Peoples and Organizations of Ecuador (Feine) and the National Confederation of Country Email List Peasant Organizations, Indigenous and Black (Fenocin). The first, as its name indicates, is an organization of evangelical indigenous people, while the second brings together a network of rural organizations that in some provinces competes with Conaie and is more decidedly Country Email List peasant-oriented. Other popular urban organizations have adhered to the strike or have called for parallel mobilizations that are connected with it:.
The Popular Front, based on student Country Email List and teacher groups, the Unitary Front of Workers, of labor unions, and a multitude of decentralized feminist, environmental, Christian, neighborhood and student groups. But what sustains and encourages this urban mobilization, more dispersed and delayed, is the rural encouragement of the base Country Email List communities of the Conaie. For this reason, obviously, the rebellion is more intense where there are bases organized by the indigenous entity and less strong where it is weaker, such as on the coast or in various Andean cities, such as the southern Cuenca or Loja. Whatever the final outcome of this new Country Email List Ecuadorian popular rebellion, Conaie will emerge even stronger.
