Marlon Santi considers that designation of subcoordinator dislike the indigenous movement of Cotopaxi.
The president of the Cotopaxi Indigenous and Peasant Movement (MICC), Leonidas Iza, ruled out having distanced himself from Pachakutik (political movement with an indigenist tendency) and indicated that there is an “indissoluble unity.”
This was Iza’s response, after Marlon Santi, Pachakutik’s national coordinator, said the MICC had isolated itself from the movement by choosing the executive committee that took place in 2019.
In addition to choosing Santi as coordinator, Cecilia Velasque was appointed as sub-coordinator. Velasque’s selection would have upset the MICC that allegedly threatened to form another group and withdraw from Pachakutik, also warning that they would not be allowed to enter Cotopaxi.
Santi said the impasse would be resolved with a reconciliation letter, since the doors had not closed.
Iza denied that there is a distancing and said they are not fighting. Rather he clarified that he does not know where that statement came from and that he will not send any letter because among them there is an “indissoluble unity.”
The indigenous leader of Cotopaxi preferred not to refer to the sub-coordinator of Pachakutik and denied that he had talks with the Citizen Revolution sector, whose leader is former president Rafael Correa, in the framework of electoral agreements for the 2021 elections.
He said that it is very premature to speak of a possible nomination to the Presidency of the Republic on behalf of the indigenous movement, but that he will not serve for the division.
