Andrés Arauz Galarza (6 February 1985) is an Ecuadorian politician and economist. From 2015 to 2017 he served as Minister of Knowledge and Human Talent during the presidency of Rafael Correa.[3] He also served as Minister of Culture in March and April of 2017 due to the resignation of Raúl Vallejo.[4] In August of 2020 he announced that he would be a candidate for President in the 2021 general election, scheduled for 7 February of that year.[5] He is part of the left-wing Unión por la Esperanza (UNES) coalition which is supported by Correa and his allies.
He was born in Quito and earned a Bachelor of Science in the University of Michigan[1] and a doctorate in the Autonomous University of Mexico in Economics.[2]
Background
In March 2015 he was nominated as Minister of Knowledge and Human Talent in the government of Rafael Correa, replacing Guillaume Long.[3] From this position he led the coordination and supervision of the execution of the politics, programs, and projects of the Ministries of Education, Culture, Higher Education, Science, and Technology. Among the developments of these projects were improved technological independence in the country, the usage of free software, and the development of free knowledge.[6]
He also headed the Ministry of Culture for a brief period of time due to the resignation of Raúl Vallejo.[2]
In 2017 he left his posts due to the assumption of the presidency by Lenín Moreno. He founded the Observatory of Dollarization dedicated to disseminating essays and investigations on the subject of dollarization of various national economies and its effects. He previously began doctoral studies on financial economics in the Autonomous University of Mexico.[2] He is a member of the Executive Council of International Progress.[2]
Political career
2021 presidential candidacy
On 18 August 2020 the political coalition Unión por la Esperanza (UNES), which includes among its ranks the political organizations Citizen Revolution Movement and Democratic Center, announced that Arauz would be its candidate for President of Ecuador in the elections scheduled for 7 February 2021. Accompanying Arauz as running mate would have been Rafael Correa, who had been president from 2007 to 2017.[5] However, his acceptance of the position was rejected by the National Electoral Council, which argued that it was mere procedure rather than politically motivated, as Correa had left the country and now resides in Belgium.[7]
