SOLIZ CARRION, Doris. The social protest in Ecuador in October 2019: Between the model dispute, the judicialization, and the recognition. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2023, vol.31, n.1, pp.279-308.  Epub Nov 07, 2023. ISSN 0121-3261.  https://doi.org/10.14482/indes.31.01.121.001.

This article presents an analytical and critical perspective on the social protests experienced in Ecuador in October 2019. A perspective based on original sources to which the author had access as a parliamentarian and coordinator of the Human Rights parliamentary group at the time of these events and that allows place the facts in the perspective of its various actors, both state and from society. We analyze its contents, speeches and narratives, the role of social networks and digital media in that protest. We reflect on the indicators of social cohesion versus the conflict and fracture in a society like the Ecuadorian one; and, the negative consequences of the criminalization of protest in the face of the urgency of addressing its most structural causes and its critical contributions to the development model of society.

Keywords : social protest; Ecuador; social cohesion; development model.
