There has been great unrest in Ecuador as the current president attempts to make changes to the police (the police had an uprising in Sept and the President was rescued by the army) and the judicial system. There are also proposals about what media companies can own and about animal blood sports. I encounted a protest rally at Plaza Grande today and I have no idea what it was about. I asked but those who would attempt English would not tell me. I think there were unions involved but I'm not sure. I didn't see any media presence. I wandered through the crowds and took my pictures. The police were heavily armed and I assume the President was expected in the area but I'm not sure. I have searched the net trying to get news but I found nothing.
