FDLP – Ecuador: Our Condolences and Solidarity with our Comrade Marlene Cordovilla

We hereby share an unofficial translation of a statement published by the Defense Front of the People’s Struggles – Ecuador (FDLP–EC) on November 11.

The Front for the Defense of the Struggles of the People of Ecuador expresses its deepest condolences to comrade Marlene Cordovilla, a leader of the healthcare workers, and to her entire family on the passing of her father, Mr. Luis Antonio Cordovilla Núñez.

There are lives that continue to bear fruit in those who remember them. Don Luis Antonio’s was one of them. Among the gifts he leaves us is his daughter Marlene, a tenacious woman whom we love and respect for the steadfastness with which she defends the rights of her coworkers.

Dear comrade, today we stand by your side as you say goodbye to your father. The class solidarity that defines us in the struggle for workers’ rights also unites us in these moments. We stand with you in honoring the memory of the one you loved so dearly.

Please accept, Marlene, our fraternal embrace.
