On Monday, the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE) raised alarm over the mining and energy bill promoted by President Daniel Noboa’s government. The organization criticized the Organic Law project for strengthening strategic sectors, which the executive sent as an urgent economic initiative now under debate in the National Assembly. Indigenous leaders argue that the proposal accelerates extractive investments without guaranteeing prior, free, and informed consultation, a right enshrined in Ecuador’s Constitution and international human rights treaties.
