Quito, May 31 (RHC)-- In Ecuador, thousands of people took to the streets this week in cities across the country protesting President Lenín Moreno’s public spending cuts during the pandemic. 

At least 150,000 people in Ecuador are now unemployed, with unions saying low-income workers have received little or no aid, while the rich are being protected. 

Thousands of protesters marched in the capital Quito.  Marches also took place in the city of Guayaquil — the epicenter of the pandemic in Ecuador.
