The Ecuadorian indigenous movement, which called for an uprising against the government hopes that the president Rafael Correa retract his "political project" before entering into any dialogue, said on Monday its leader, Marlon Santi.
"We have broken the dialogue with the government, we will sit down (to dialogue), but if the government retracts its political project," said the president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities (CONAI) to channel Teleamazonas.
Santi, who on Sunday called for support for other sectors to rebel against Correa conditioned any rapprochement with the head of state accepts that communities are those that, via consultation, decide the exploitation of oil and mines in its territory.
"That deciding authoritatively, here in Quito, in the palace (of government), with transnational corporations, has made in the Amazon and in the mountains all draft use of natural resources are not (benefit) for all" , Claimed the leader.
CONAI, which precipitated the fall of two presidents in the last decade through mobilizations, said he was in opposition to Correa in rejection of its refusal to allow indigenous people have the power to decide on oil or mining projects in their areas of influence.
Correa, who at the time was envestido as the agent's own indigenous nationalities, argues that few groups can not decide on the wealth of an entire country, warning that before giving prefer to leave power.
The main reserves of crude oil, copper and gold are in areas with indigenous settlements, which historically have opposed its operation claiming environmental damage and risks to their survival.
The chairman of the CONAI anticipated that the government at least have to accept that communities negotiate their participation in projects of exploitation, ensuring "life for indigenous people 20 or 30 years" after the companies leave their territories.
