Despite the attack by a group on the presidential motorcade in Cañar — which was en route to announce the construction of a $4.5 million treatment plant that will benefit 26,000 residents, deliver the $891,000 Sigsihuayco sewage system, and present the financing agreement for the $815,000 Quilloac sewage system — the destabilizers failed to stop the National Government.

Following orders to radicalize, they attacked a presidential motorcade carrying civilians. They tried, by force, to prevent the delivery of a project meant to improve the lives of a community.

We are doing what we are meant to do, and they cannot stop us: reaching every corner of the country where families need infrastructure, services, and the presence of their President.

All detainees will be prosecuted for terrorism and attempted murder.
