ECUADOR HISTORICAL MEMORY 2022-04-15. QUITO. PICHINCHA. 1933. A child rides his tricycle down García Moreno Street from the Carondelt Presidential Palace in Ecuador and in the background you can see the Ecuadorian national police stopping the march of members of the Peasant Social Security (Seguro Social Campesino), which since 1992, with the arrival at the presidency of Sixto Durán Ballén, one of the most corrupt presidents and he tried to eliminate it or raise the payments of Ecuadorian peasants who lived in extreme poverty due to the exploitation of businessmen. That is why the social movements and unions of the public system decided on the proposals to privatize Social Security or IESS and the sale of public companies. In that year, the first mobilization began against the policies of the Ecuadorian extreme right, which in the end was linked to the mafias of drug traffickers and bankers. Patricio Realpe/ChakanaNews
