Ecuador’s state-owned oil company Petroecuador halts oil operations over the impact of protests against the government’s social and economic policies
A woman plays a vuvuzela as she takes part in a counter protest against anti-government protesters called mainly by Indigenous organizations against the government of Guillermo Lasso, in Quito, Ecuador, Saturday, June 18, 2022.
The oil company declared force majeure for its exploration, exploitation, transport and commerce sectors — halting exports — after protesters entered oil fields, affecting output, it said in a statement. The state of exception will last for 30 days in the provinces of Imbabura, Cotopaxi, and Pichincha — areas that include capital city Quito — which have seen greater violence amid protests, with attacks on flower farms and damage to infrastructure, while police officers have also been detained by protesters.
