VOICED : Marchas anti y pro gobierno desbordan Ecuador

On Labor Day in Ecuador, large-scale marches both supporting and opposing the government took place. President Correa, in power since 2007, highlighted his administration's labor achievements, such as raising the minimum wage. Meanwhile, opposition groups protested against a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow Correa to run for another term in 2017. The amendment, which bypasses a public referendum, has sparked debate over its legitimacy. Critics argue that Correa has lost support from indigenous groups, social movements, and the general public. Similar mobilizations occurred in other cities like Guayaquil and Cuenca.
