Alianza País is a political party in Ecuador founded in 2006 by Rafael Correa. The party emerged from a leftist movement and aims to promote social justice, economic development, and political sovereignty. It gained significant popularity during Correa's presidency from 2007 to 2017, focusing on reducing poverty and improving public services. The party's ideology is rooted in 21st-century socialism, advocating for a mixed economy and greater state involvement in key sectors. After Correa's departure, Alianza País faced internal divisions and challenges, leading to a decline in its influence in Ecuadorian politics.
