QUITO, June 29, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - Ecuador's opposition-led congress on Tuesday
failed to gather enough votes to impeach right-wing President Guillermo
Lasso, as protests by Indigenous Ecuadorans over the high cost of living
persisted.

The motion garnered 80 of the 92 votes needed to remove Lasso from office,
according to the results read aloud by the parliament's secretary, Alvaro
Salazar, in a virtual session broadcast on social media.
