It was incredibly peaceful but powerful

Democracy should never be boring. It's good they could hold their protest without government interruption.

It is unfirtunate that here the state is above the law, and abuses have been rampant.
In 8 years is the first time people protest like this, and thepresident is scared

I can't see the mountain but Juan C Rios could:
These are from Cotopaxipungo from where I sent the 1st pics

A you should never let a good crisis go to waste (as per the marxist manuals) the president has declared state of exception
As such the rights of free press, reunion, and correspondence have been revoked.
Your domicile can be violated as well in case of alarm

El Libertador
This is a statue that was made in 2 parts, one was for Bolivar, and an identical one for San Martin
They used to be located on opposing hills and one was saluting the other.
In the 90s the statue of San martin was rellocated
