The attack by native Ecuadorian citizens, maybe from Etnia Montubio or Quechua, to the president Noboa's car convoy, is a sign of impatience and an alert of rebellion from the farmers, who are the larger part of the Ecuadorean population. President Noboa was travelling after the inauguration of a new plant for the treatment and filtration of the black and dirty water, that previously went directly to the rivers, causing inquination and illness for the people downstream that used the water to drink and cook.
An excellent needed development, but the people are furious for the increase of the price of diesel due to the elimination of public subsidies, which directly inflicted an inflation in the most essential products for the people and their families. Noboa claims that the states saving of money in this eliminated subside will be used for who needs more, building essential social infrastructures.
Very difficult to explain to people who are used to corruption and abandoned from the authorities.
It's important that president Noboa creates a dialogue channel, and to not cut all the subsidies at once.
But after the attack to his convoy, 5 people that plead they were not part of this violent protest and were not even present during the attack, were arrested and will be incriminated of Magnified attempt, so that the intention was to kill the president. So people with names like: Guaman, Yuma, Chuma, Chimbo, Kinde, all native persons are in risk of jail for 15 years. This for sure will just increase the refuses against Noboa's government and maybe detonate a social revolution like many that took part in the recent history of Ecuador.
So Daniel Noboa, needs to be a President who can forgive the attackers but ask for a peaceful dialogue and condemn the violence as a tool to protest; or become a tyrannical king, and condemn these 5 possibly innocent people and with them most of the population of Ecuador and create himself enemies that will finish the government at any cost.
