(Analysis of the sabotage of the Social Economy and savings and credit cooperatives in Ecuador)

Ecuador throughout history has made great efforts through processes of social and solidarity economy -ESOL-. Many of these processes have been deployed informally through non-monetary economic practices, and others more formally from the conceptualization and development of popu-lar and solidarity economy programs -EPS- entrenched in its new Consti-tution in 2008. As of 2017, with the government of Lenin Moreno, a regres-sion in public and social policies was established, reaching its peak with the government of banker Guillermo Lasso as of 2021. It is at that time that all kinds of measures are deployed against organizations that could compromise the results accounts of the economic structures and oligarchies related to the government, thus hindering openly democratic processes such as savings and credit cooperatives. This shows the lack of ethics together with the bad faith when it comes to not meeting the needs of a sector that has always sustained and promoted the circulating flow of goods and services through local action using all kinds of mechanisms prioritizing maximization. of profit over social benefit.
