ECUADORIANS DEMAND DEMOCRACY
J. Grant Swank, Jr
Quito, Ecuador. Closed.
Schools: closed. Public transportation: closed. Museums: closed. Government institutions: closed.
"The erosion of democracy." That’s the way that the UPI reporter Eliza Barclay wrote of the people’s anxiety over their government. "The erosion of democracy."
President Luis Gutierrez is not coming forth with liberties actual — grassroots style. The people are fed up with it. So schools, public transpiration, government institutions are closed and the streets are eerily quiet. Closed. It’s a clear message from the populace that they want freedom actual, not just freedom promised.
"Tensions initially erupted when a congressional majority allied with Gutierrez voted in December to dismiss 27 out of 31 judges on the Supreme Court. Gutierrez said the decision was reasonable because the Social Christian Party, an opposition party that led a failed attempt to impeach Gutierrez, had an unfair influence and advantage in the court.
"Since December's judicial turnover, critics have accused Gutierrez and allied politicians of tampering with the country's legal foundations and pitching the country into a highly volatile state."
Now the people demand new leadership. They don’t trust what’s going on with the present-tense powers-that-be. So exit. Make way for another in-charge.
"Student protestors and intellectuals unleashed a torrent of criticism directed at Gutierrez and the government, some calling he president's actions ‘dictatorial.’"
Increasingly dictators are being confronted by human beings who want liberties actualized. We see it in Iran where the streets were clogged with protestors last weekend. They demanded release from the Iranian theocratic press that squashes real democracy. They want set free.
Ukrainians put aside the dictatorial mode for democracy’s plant. New Iraq is in the glad process of topping killers international in order to assure a free future for its people. Afghanistan continues its freedom march against murderers global. Nepal’s king promised his people increased democracy quotients according to this morning’s UPI headlines.
Democracy. The people demand it. They have the right. They are closing the schools, museums, government institutions in Ecuador’s capital in order to write in the earth their demands. And, after all, they have the right to do just that. More power to democracy — wherever, whenever. More power to democracy.
"On Wednesday morning, Quito Mayor Paco Moncayo and the prefect of the Pinchincha province that includes Quito, Ramiro González, kicked off the marches by reading sections of the country´s constitution. The two leaders also demanded that the federal government uphold the country´s democratic principles."
