COICA points out that the government is not paying attention to oil spills in the Amazon: "The inhabitants of the villages continue to be the most affected."

COICA's Deputy General Coordinator, Jamner Manihuari Curitima, denounced that Amazonian communities continue to suffer from oil spills and have not received any real compensation. He also called on candidates in the 2026 elections to truly commit to defending the environment and the rights of Indigenous communities. "It's a living death for Amazonian communities." The COICA coordinator warned that oil pollution cannot be considered an isolated problem, as it is closely linked to other environmental challenges in the country, such as mining, deforestation, and water scarcity. "What is being done to Amazonian communities is tantamount to a living death. They are killing our source of life with contaminated water. There is no access to essential services, to treated water, or to dignified medical care. Likewise, he denounced the State's response to Indigenous demands, which consists of the persecution and criminal prosecution of leaders who defend their territories. "Instead of listening to us, the State responds with reprisals. There are States that cannot meet the demands of their citizens," he stated.
