The Revolutionary and Democratic Ethical Green Movement (MOVER, Spanish: Movimiento Verde Ético Revolucionario y Democrático) is a centre[1][2] to centre-right[3][4][2] neoliberal[5] and environmentalist political party in Ecuador.[6] In 2016, it had 979,691 members.[7] Until 2021 it was known as the PAIS Alliance (Proud and Sovereign Homeland) (PAIS, Spanish: Alianza PAIS (Patria Altiva i Soberana)).
Founded by Rafael Correa in April 2006,[8] the party soon found success amid the "pink tide" period in Latin America. The party's early period in power (2007–2017) is known as the Correa era, named after the longtime leader Correa, who was also the President of Ecuador. Correa was highly popular due to his efforts to make the national economy grow and his politics of social spending and social assistance.[9]
When Correa's third term came to an end, he was followed by his vice-president Lenín Moreno, who moved the party closer to the centre[10][11] and enjoyed a popularity rating as high as 77% shortly after the 2017 Ecuadorian general election. Moreno's sharp move to the right and its economic and political policies resulted in the 2019 Ecuadorian protests and mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ecuador. Further, Moreno left office with an approval rating of 9% according to a survey by the firm Cedatos, associated to Gallup.[12]
On 4 December 2021, the PAIS Alliance renamed itself to MOVER. The change was approved by the National Electoral Council in February 2022.[13]
