https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/79218019-8c61-42d4-9016-c7f6b0ea9062 Ecuador heads to the polls for general elections on February 9, in a moment of unprecedented multidimensional crisis. In recent years, the country has made headlines internationally for the unprecedented uptick in violent crime, the year-long state of emergency and declaration of armed conflict, the continued attacks on public institutions and programs, the state-mandated violation of the Vienna Convention and Mexican sovereignty, and an increase in state violence and crime against oppressed communities. 16 people are contesting in the February 9 elections for the office of president. Peoples Dispatch spoke to Leonidas Iza, president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) and candidate for the Pachakutik party about how he plans to address the country's crisis and rebuild the nation.
