Holy sheets! That sounds like a dodgy situation. I understand the removal of the diesel tariff was at the behest of the IMF as part of their stabilisation plan, so it's unlikely there'll be a rollback. I presume you're closed.

We're half-open, like everyone else. Those who know just open the door and close it again behind them.
And yes, removing the Diesel subsidy was absolutely necessary. It's the way that Noboa did it that is suspicious. A while ago, he did the same with gasoline, and he did it well - rising the price little by little. No protests, everybody understood it. This is more like a provocation on purpose, he wants this protest to happen, he wants to incite the violence to use it as an argument to give himself more power. I'm writing on a longer piece, including more of the political arguments. This little piece is just a somewhat neutral description.
