Thousands of Indians have come on Thursday the streets of Quito to protest the government's policy of large-scale mining and to demand laws that guarantee access to water and land redistribution. After two weeks into their mobilization in southern Ecuador, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) has delivered to the Ecuadorian capital a manifesto presented their demands to the government of socialist Rafael Correa and the National Assembly.
In contrast, supporters have focused Executive multitudinously outside the Government Palace and elsewhere in the capital to support the president. Addressing his supporters, President Correa has reiterated a speech focused on minimizing the indigenous protest, which he described as "very poor" and "manipulated" by partisan interests, and to announce that "the revolution has triumphed again Citizen."

After defending the government's actions in water and mining, the president said Thursday that his government is open to dialogue with the leadership of CONAIE, and not with the "opportunistic politicians" which the government surrounding indigenous mobilization. The Aboriginal leadership also has determined a possible dialogue that talks take place directly with the president and ministers of state, as announced by the Government. "We want to talk with the president, but the dialogue has to be not a dialogue of the deaf, has to be responsive to the demand of the people," he told reporters Dolphin Tenesaca indigenous leader.
Some 2,700 members of the Ecuadorian police have guarded the streets and squares of Quito, where indigenous groups have entered the south and north of the city, while the Coordinating Minister of Politics, Betty Tola, announced the support of about 60,000 government supporters.
The Indian leadership has called on Thursday to the state authorities to enforce the rule of the Ecuadorian Constitution available to consult with communities on projects to exploit non-renewable resources that are on their land. Such consultations are not binding, but the leadership of CONAIE has reiterated that they expected to seek consensus rather than "enforcement" of the Government.
President Correa has repeatedly, on his part, that his administration promotes responsible mining in the social and environmental, repeating his phrase "beggars can not be sitting on a sack of gold." The president signed earlier this month a contract with China Ecuacorriente for copper mining in the province of Zamora Chinchipe, site from which just left the indigenous march to Quito last March 8. And the government plans this summer to sign a new contract for another mining project, this time with the Canadian Kinross for the extraction of gold in the same Zamora Chinchipe, southeastern Ecuador.
After the day on Thursday it could know whether indigenous mobilization will give way to a dialogue with the government. In the past, Aboriginal protests made in this and previous governments led roundtables, which, however, failed to stay on time. This time, CONAIE leaders expect an eventual dialogue produces results.
