Quito, August 21 (teleSUR-RHC)-- After a week of demonstrations, where over 116 police officers and members of the armed forces were injured and at least 60 people detained, some Indigenous groups aligned with right-wing movements have vowed to continue their protests and strike against the government of President Rafael Correa.       
 
Indigenous Confederation of Ecuador (CONAIE), Ecuarunari and other opposition Indigenous movements have marched with the conservative CREO party, led by prominent banker Guillermo Lasso and other right-wing sectors. Together, they are demanding that proposed constitutional reforms be dropped and the government be ousted.     
   
A permanent vigil is being held in front of the Carondelet Presidential Palace in Independence Plaza where government supporters have gathered, enjoying festivities and showing support for a government they feel has lifted over a million people out of poverty.    

Analysts have classified the destabilization attempts in Ecuador as part of a so-called a “soft coup.” President Rafael Correa has warned citizens that this strategy, which is believed to be utilized by the international right-wing, seeks to slowly bring down the progressive governments of the region.  

Government supporters have said they will continue to gather in Independence Plaza as long as the opposition maintains their protest. An assembly of opposition Indigenous groups and a march are scheduled for Friday in Ecuador's capital. The opposition has said that this strike is indefinite, and that they will continue mobilizing actions across the country.
