Mery Zamora

Mery Segunda Zamora García (born April 19, 1972) is an Ecuadorian trade unionist, teacher, and politician. She was president of the National Union of Educators (UNE) from 2007 to 2010, a term which coincided with the beginning of the government of Rafael Correa. She became a prominent critic of this regime, and was a frequent target of verbal abuse on Correa's Citizen Link broadcasts, culminating with an accusation of terrorism and sabotage in 2010. Legal proceedings against her were eventually dropped after a successful appeal.
