RIOS RIVERA, Ingrid; UMPIERREZ DE REGUERO, Sebastián  and  VALLEJO ROBALINO, Diana. POPULIST POLITICAL ACTION ON THE MOVE? THE SOCIAL DEMANDS OF CONAIE AND FEMINISTS IN ECUADOR (2007-2019). anal.polit. [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.98, pp.85-106. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v33n98.89411.

The mobilizations of October 2019 in Ecuador open the study of the relationship between populism and organized civil society. In this article we explore the construction of indigenous and feminist social mobilization in Ecuador from the social demands built on the discourse of its members, in the period 2007-2019. Using a qualitative research approach, through in-depth interviews with members/leaders of these movements, we examine the construction of political action from populist theory. The results of this research allow us to argue distinctive elements of populism in the discourse of the members of the social movements, which provide inputs for a preliminary explanation of social mobilization from this political logic.

Keywords : social movements; political identity; populist political action; populism.
