Discordancias entre actuaciones y principios ideológicos de las organizaciones políticas del Ecuador.

Abstract

The present thesis work examines the issue of discrepancies between the actions and ideological principles of Ecuador’s political organizations. It highlights how political organizations, such as Alianza País and Creando Oportunidades (CREO), have experienced disparities between their stated principles and political actions with significant consequences. In the case of Alianza País, despite its progressive objectives, its government under Rafael Correa showed ideological inconsistencies by prioritizing economic interest over environmental conservation, leading to the gradual degradation of the movement. In the case of CREO, led by Guillermo Lasso, the combination of liberal and conservative principles faced challenges in being implemented coherently, resulting in political tensions and decreased popularity. In both cases, it is emphasized how the lack of ideological coherence can undermine citizen trust, weaken governance, and affect political stability. These examples underscore the importance of maintaining ideological integrity in political decisionmaking to strengthen democracy and build a society based on shared values. The Ecuadorian political history offers valuable lessons on how ideological coherence can influence the success of political organizations and citizens’ trust in the political system.
