    SUBJECT: INDIGENOUS PROTESTS RENEW; LIMITED ACTION IN QUITO

    ¶1.  (SBU) Summary:  Indigenous protesters renewed their
    Disruption of transportation in the highland provinces of
    Imbabura, Chimborazo, Cotopaxi and Canar, and began arriving
    in Quito in small numbers on March 20.  Others were blocked
    by police from entering the capital.  Two injuries stemming
    from the protest action were reported in Chimborazo.
    Anti-FTA protests could build throughout this week, but a
    pro-FTA consensus appears to be emerging among the
    government, political parties, business community and
    mainstream media.  Thus far, the military and political elite
    appear committed to the Palacio government's stability, and
    the low numbers of protesters in the capital are not yet
    sufficient to represent a threat.  End Summary.

    Street Action Dispersed
    -----------------------

    ¶2.  (U) Approximately 250 indigenous marchers from Amazonian
    Pastaza province were largely blocked by police using tear
    gas from entering the capital from the south on March 20 to
    march on the palace.  Another anti-FTA group of less than 100
    marched past the Embassy on their way downtown.  Outside
    Quito, protesters blocked highways in heavily indigenous
    Chimborazo, Cotopaxi and Imbabura provinces, disrupting the
    main north-south highway in the densely-populated Sierra
    region.  Two injuries were caused when a frustrated
    individual driver fired upon protesters blocking his path in
    Riobamba.  Isolated road lockages were reported in Canar.

    GOE Blitzes Airwaves
    --------------------

    ¶3.  (U) The Government launched television spots highlighting
    the fact that no FTA has yet been reached, and featuring
    President Palacio saying no FTA would be signed unless it
    advances Ecuadorian interests.  A pro-FTA march in Quito on
    March 17 reportedly attracted 5,000 (largely drawn from and
    financed by the cut flower sector).

    ¶4.  (U) Presidential spokesman Enrique Proano continued to
    discredit the CONAIE protests, noting that CONAIE president
    Luis Macas had not voiced dissent over the FTA during his
    tenure as Agriculture Minister under the Gutierrez
    government.  Proano also attacked 10 unnamed NGOs using
    external support to encourage the protests, implying a
    financial link to the government of Venezuela. Palacio's
    Chief of Staff Jose Modesto Apolo continued the concerted
    attack on the credibility and representativeness of the
    indigenous movement in a morning TV debate with the leader of
    the Pachakutik party.

    ¶5.  (SBU) Felipe Vega was sworn in on March 20 as Palacio's
    fifth Government Minister, charged with negotiating
    provincial demands.  GOE FTA chief negotiator Manuel
    Chiriboga advocated a new GOE program to help agricultural
    sectors adjust to the FTA, signaling a possible avenue for
    compromise.  Modesto Apolo confided to us on March 17 that
    the protests would likely continue indefinitely, blaming
    financial and political interests of anti-FTA critics.

    Evangelical Indigenous Protesting for Different Reasons
    --------------------------------------------- ----------

    ¶6.  (SBU) In a surprising development, the evangelical
    indigenous group FEINE publicly joined with rival CONAIE's
    anti-FTA protests in Chimborazo and Cotopaxi province.  Marco
    Murillo, FEINE's president, told us on March 20 that his
    group's motives in supporting road blockages in these two
    provinces were twofold: in Chimborazo, to force the
    government to inform and possibly involve the indigenous in
    the FTA negotiations; and in Cotopaxi, to break CONAIE's
    monopoly over provision of GOE resources and projects.  (He
    blamed CONAIE leader Lourdes Tiban, who heads the GOE's
    indigenous development organization, CODEMPE, for channeling
    GOE funds through CONAIE.)  FEINE leaders would meet with GOE
    officials in the presidency on March 20 to negotiate its
    demands.

    ¶7.  (SBU) Murillo claimed that FEINE had long been critical
    of the lack of indigenous members of the GOE FTA negotiating
    team and FEINE's position on the FTA had not changed.  FEINE
    does not seek to destabilize the Palacio government, he said,
    and had not been in contact with ex-president Gutierrez since
    his release from prison. This move by FEINE does not reflect
    the position of the broader evangelical sector in Ecuador,
    which is resolutely apolitic and unlikely to engage the FTA
    debate.

    Comment
    -------

    ¶8.  (SBU) Quito remains relatively calm and undisrupted by
    indigenous anti-FTA protests, but more are expected on March
    ¶21.  FEINE, an organization with proven capacity (in support
    of the Gutierrez government and normally in opposition to
    CONAIE) appears more interested in parochial interests than
    in blocking the FTA.  Without much larger numbers of
    protesters in the streets of the capital, and additional
    support inside the military or political elite, we doubt
    CONAIE's protests can achieve their aim of dissuading the GOE
    from concluding an FTA agreement.
