An Argentinian was arrested during the curfew in Ecuador and is incommunicado.

The family of Federico Molina publicly denounced the situation of the young man, which was captured at 8:20 pm last Thursday, while the curfew imposed by Moreno was still in effect following social protests against the "package" of economic adjustments.

"Since Friday, we have not heard from him anymore.A habeas corpus was presented and they rejected us. Five days have passed and we know nothing about him. Is in secretsaid Andrea, Federico's sister, in statements on television.

Federico and his girlfriend, of German nationality, traveled as backpackers and arrived in Ecuador two days before the episode, when the state of exception decreed by Moreno was already in force.

Then the Ecuadorian President strengthened its attempt to control social protests by imposing a curfew in some parts of the country.

In this context, some witnesses saw how the police had "lifted" Molina, who was alone at the time of her arrest, as well as other people close to him.

"He is being detained for breaking law 282. That's the only thing we know"Andrea talked about the curfew legislation.

From the Argentinean consulate, they contacted Florencio Varela's family, but there was still no news. He was only asked for the boy's antecedents and information.

"They told us that it was going to be 10 days since the arrest to have an audience and see if the judge has given freedom, "said the woman.

At the present time, the only person who corroborated Federico's status was his girlfriend, who had only seen him once in the last week. since then "he tries to see him every day" in the prison where he is detained.

Meanwhile, Federico's mother and her two sisters, who are not able to travel together to Ecuador, suggested that at least one of them goes to Cuenca to follow the case, but the consulate of Argentina gave them insurance "It would not be necessary because it would not help anything.".

"We drift, we do not know anything," lamented Andrea.
