The Citizen Revolution Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Revolución Ciudadana) is a democratic socialist[8] political party in Ecuador formed by supporters of former President Rafael Correa who distanced themselves from Correa's former PAIS Alliance party during the presidency of Lenín Moreno. The party takes its name from the term used to refer to the project of building a new society.[9]
