The struggle of an Ecuadorian indigenous woman, a migrant in Spain, for the right to housing and against banking abuses

Interview with
  • Aida Quinatoa

  • Olga L. González

Aída Quinatoa is an indigenous Ecuadorian economic migrant in Spain, where she has been the leader of the mobilization of migrants against the so-called “real estate scam”, against banks and real estate companies. This same fight made Ada Colau known and led her to the Mayor of Barcelona (2015-2019). In this interview, Aída details the role of the National Coordinator of Ecuadorians in Spain, CONADEE, an organization that she led between 2006 and 2013. This mobilization became visible beyond the circles that work with migrants as of mid-2011, due to their presence in evictions.
