Ecuador’s government is returning to the nation’s capital, where rival groups are massing for rallies as unions and indigenous organizations declare a one-day national strike.
Earlier this week, President Lenin Moreno moved the government to the port city of Guayaquil amid mass unrest triggered by his decision to end fuel subsidies. Moreno is now going back to Quito to oversee management of the crisis, Interior Minister Maria Paula Romo said in a press conference.
