More about Ecuador

Politics

According to the constitution that came into force on October 21, 2008, Ecuador is a presidential republic with a multi-party system. The constitution lists the respect and enforcement of fundamental rights as the highest national goal. Basic rights are also granted to nature. In addition, the constitution aims at a “social and solidary” form of economy.

At the head of the executive is the president. He is head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces and is directly elected for four years. A one-time re-election is possible. The president appoints the members of the government and presides over them as head of government. Head of state has been L. Moreno from the left-wing Christian Alianza Patria Altiva i Soberana (PAÍS, German alliance of proud and sovereign fatherland) since May 24th, 2017. Its greatest challenge is to rehabilitate the budget of the indebted country and to combat unemployment and high underemployment. In October 2019 there were mass protests against the Moreno government. In return for a billion dollar loan from the International Monetary Fund, she had (IMF) cut government spending and cut subsidies on gasoline and diesel fuel. The government had to withdraw the savings decree.

The legislature is supported by the National Assembly, a unicameral parliament whose 137 members are elected for a four-year term. There is compulsory voting. A council for citizen participation and democracy and the possibility of a referendum are elements of direct democracy.

National symbols

The flag is horizontally striped, the upper half in yellow, the lower half in two equally high stripes in blue over red and bears the coat of arms in the middle.

The coat of arms dates from 1822 and was introduced in 1845. The oval shield shows the Chimborazo volcano, green land and the mouth of the Guayas River, as well as a steamship on the river as a reminder that the first seaworthy steamship on the west coast of South America was built in Ecuador. Above everything lies a ribbon with the »sol de mayo« (May sun) in the middle, the zodiac signs Aries and Taurus are depicted heraldically to the right, Gemini and Cancer on the left. They represent the months of the revolution from March to June 1845. Below the shield, a bundle of lictors shows the republican state order, and above the coat of arms is the national condor bird. The shield is surrounded by a branch of coffee and a laurel branch; four national flags are depicted behind the coat of arms.

The national holiday is August 10th. It commemorates the proclamation of independence in 1809.
