Two things I see. 
The first may only be a translation artifact. You have CREATE ROLE 
administradores and then GRANT to administrators on the table.
Second in the CREATE ROLE  ezequias you have NOINHERIT. This means  ezequias  
does not automatically assume the privileges of the ROLES it belongs to. To 
acquire the privileges you have to do a SET ROLE administrators at the 
connection.
