Wilmer Barzallo, an Ecuadorean resident, said Correa declined to meet with the community. “There are about 15,000 people in our community here and he won’t listen to us,” Barzallo said. Carmen Segovia said she wanted to participate in the protest because such opposition isn’t tolerated in Ecuador. “They are trying to eliminate protests in our country.
