Anti-Government Protesters Cause Major Traffic Jam on Highway

A caravan of hundreds of vehicles caused a traffic jam on a highway leading to Quito’s international airport to protest against Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa. In the rain protesters honked their horns and waved Ecuadorian flags and black banners – which have become a sign of anti-government protests – on the main highway leading to Mariscal Sucre International Airport.

Demonstrations against the government’s policies, which include an increase to inheritance tax, have taken place across Ecuador since June 8. Credit: Twitter/nellelazo
