Video footage published by the Ecuadorian presidency showed protesters throwing rocks at the motorcade and cracks forming on vehicle windows, but there has been no independent verification of a bullet being fired at the car transporting Noboa.

Five people were arbitrarily detained after peaceful demonstrators rejected President Noboa's presence during ongoing protests against his economic policies. The militarization of the territory seeks to intimidate social protest, with brutal police and military action targeting mobilized communities including elderly women.

Ecuador: Five Detained After Rock-Throwing Attack on President's Motorcade

Ecuador

Murders and attempted murders

Violence & assaults

These five people, including an elderly woman, have been arbitrarily detained after an incident that was by no means an assassination attempt against Daniel Noboa, but rather a reaction to government's repression across the country. Demonstrators only threw rocks at the motorcade because Ecuadorian authorities had decided to enter a protest area to create chaos.

Demonstrators only threw rocks at the motorcade because Ecuadorian authorities had decided to enter a protest area to create chaos.

Far-left terrorists loyal to the radical indigenous leader Marlon Vargas carried out a coordinated attack against the live of Ecuador's conservative president, Daniel Noboa, while he was on the road to fulfill his agenda. This incident is enough to understand what's going on in the country. Some may resort to violence, but the government will continue working for Ecuador.
