Abstract:
The author makes a critical analysis of the
governments of Evo Morales, in Bolivia, and
Rafael Correa, in Ecuador. The social and
political processes in both countries are like two
peas in a pod. Both approved a Plurinational
State and new constitutions, but when it came
time to apply their ideas they were faced with
serious obstacles. The indigenous base groups
and the urban popular sectors brought Morales
and Correa to power, and those same groups
are now protesting against “their” governments.
Keywords: Plurinational State. Original
peoples. Morales’s government. Correa’s
government.
