Descripción
Sumario:The application of the neoliberal model since 2017, as well as the implications of COVID-19, generated a context of economic, political, and social crisis in Ecuador. This situation caused several indigenous organizations to call a National Strike in June 2022 to demand the fulfillment of 10 points that would improve their living conditions. However, the implementation of a contentious policy by the indigenous sectors caused the government to apply measures to deal with the mobilizations. In this context, this article aims to reflect on the events of the National Strike through theoretical concepts. At first, it delves into the existing inaccuracies of the right to resistance. Secondly, it addresses the implications of the violence of the law and its double standards from the distinction between friend and foe on the part of the State. In a third moment, the implications of the application of the state of emergency during the mobilizations are analyzed. Finally, it reflects on the dialogue between government and indigenous sectors.
