The beginnings of Alliance PAIS go back to the year 1999, when Ricardo Patiño impelled, together with Alberto Acosta, Patricia Dávila, Ivonne Benítez and others, the creation of Jubilee 2000 Net Guayaquil, an organization of the civil corporation that investigated, denounced and looked for ways to solve the distressing topic of the Ecuadorian foreign debt, also in which were integrated Rafael Correa, Gustavo Larrea and Fander Falconí. Alliance PAIS is due to its initial structure to movements like: Civic initiative, National Democratic Action, Alliance Bolivariana Alfarista, and the same Jubilee 2000.

The current configuration of this movement is given with the participation of the Ecuadorian Socialist Party, humanist movements and social bases.

History

First period

PAIS ("Proud and Sovereign Fatherland Alliance") was founded by Rafael Correa at the start of 2006 Presidential campaign. The movement espouses political sovereignty, regional integration, and economic relief for Ecuador's poor.[16]

During the campaign, Correa proposed a constituent assembly to rewrite Ecuador's constitution.[17] Alianza PAIS did not run any congressional candidates, as Correa had stated that he would call for a referendum to begin drafting a new constitution. However, the Alianza PAIS movement signed a political alliance with the Ecuadorian Socialist Party, which did present candidates for Congress.[18]

In the 15 October 2006 general election Correa obtained second place (22.84%) behind banana tycoon Álvaro Noboa (26.83%). Correa won the subsequent 26 November 2006 runoff election with 56.67% of the vote.[19] He took office on 15 January 2007.

Constituent referendum

On 15 April 2007, Ecuadoreans voted overwhelmingly (81.72% in favor) to support the election of a constituent assembly.[20]

Constituent Assembly election

As a result, in the national election, President Correa won backing for his plans to rewrite Ecuador's constitution and expand state control of the nation's economy. Correa's faction won approximately 61% of the seats in the National Assembly (80 of 130 Assembly Members).[21] The Constituent Assembly was originally led by Alianza PAIS member Alberto Acosta, who was then replaced by another PAIS member, Fernando Cordero.

Constitutional referendum

A constitutional referendum was held in Ecuador on 28 September 2008 to ratify or reject the constitution drafted by the Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly elected in 2007.[22] Partial results show that 64% of voters voted to approve the 2008 Constitution of Ecuador.[23]

Second period

Primary elections

For the first time in the political history of Ecuador, an organized political party selected its candidates by means of primary elections. Alliance PAIS organized primary elections for January 25, 2009, in the whole country. The objective was that the members of the political movement would name the candidates for the elections of April 26, 2009.[24]

General elections

Rafael Correa was re-elected for a second term in general election on 26 April 2009. It was the first time in thirty years that the country had re-elected a president. PAIS also won the largest legislative block in the National Assembly, although not a majority.[25][26]

In the elections for the Andean parliament. Alliance PAIS obtained 3 of 5 parliamentarians.[27][28][29]

Rafael Correa was ratified as president of the movement in November 2010. Galo Mora was designated first secretary-general.[30]

On 1 October 2016, former Vice President Lenin Moreno was nominated as a candidate for the 2017 presidential election at the conference of Alianza País. The statement was made by President Rafael Correa.

In the 19 February 2017 election, Moreno won the elections with 39.3% of the vote. However he was short by less than one percentage point of outright victory, as Ecuador requires in its two-round system.[31] On 2 April 2017 second runoff, he defeated Lasso, with a 51.16% of the vote.[32][33]

Internal crisis and de-Correization

Within months of winning the election, Moreno started moving away from his voting platform,[34] thus igniting a feud with ex-president Rafael Correa.

Later that same year, through a referendum,[35] President Moreno reversed several key legislation pieces passed by Correa's administration that targeted wealthy individuals and banks, reversed a previous referendum allowing indefinite re-election (and efficiently blocking Correa's future electoral bids), and established a Council, Consejo de Participación Ciudadana y Control Social [es] (CPCCS-T), with Supra-Constitutional powers[36] to "evaluate control authorities and judges" (with the aim to remove what remains of Correa from the state).

Political project

Their political project is denominated the Revolución Ciudadana and it is synthesized in five axes that are: Political revolution, Economic Revolution, Ethical Revolution, Social, Educational Revolution and of Health, Revolution for the Latin American Integration. With these postulates the movement PAIS seeks to transform to the Ecuador toward the socialism of the 21st century.

PAIS has an approximate membership of 1.5 million people as of 2011.[37]

Alianza PAIS occupies the slot of party number 35 on the Ecuadorian ballot. The colours of Alianza PAIS are lime green and midnight blue. The slogan for the 2007 elections "Dale Patria" literally means "Go Fatherland".
