Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa has signed a new 60-day state of emergency affecting at least 10 provinces, including Pichincha, Cotopaxi, and Chimborazo, in response to growing social protests against his administration. The measure, declared on Saturday, includes the suspension of freedom of assembly in the affected regions. Noboa justified the decision by citing social unrest that threatens public order. In reaction, Indigenous movements have called for a national strike to protest the government’s elimination of fuel subsidies and the rising cost of diesel, intensifying tensions across the country.
