00:00An Ecuadorian President Aneno Boa signed Executive Decree 353 late Thursday night declaring a new state of emergency in nine
00:06provinces of the country.
00:08The measure revives the debate on the recurrent use of states of emergency as a tool for controlling citizens rather
00:15than as a solution to the serious crisis of violence.
00:19It will remain in effect for a period of 60 days.
00:21The decree suspends the right to the inviolability of the home and the inviolability of correspondence.
00:27In contrast to other declarations, this time a curfew was not imposed, so freedom of movement will not be restricted.
