The marches detonated on October 3 last year, after the cessation of transportation activities in rejection of Executive Decree 883 that eliminated the fuel subsidy, to which other sectors joined in to denounce decisions in financial matters, the presence of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the country and the dismissal of public officials.
