The Pachakutik Plurinational Unity Movement – New Country () is a political party in Ecuador that is described as Indigenist and left-wing. It was founded primarily as a way to advance the interests of a wide variety of Indigenous peoples' organizations throughout Ecuador.
==History== In the context of Ecuador's Indigenous movement, Pachakutik emerged in 1995 after civil society mobilizations by large Indigenous organizations such as CONAIE and CONFENAIE. These movements had previously espoused an abstentionist position in relation to electoral politics, but came together to form Coordinadora de Movimientos Sociales (Social Movement Cooperation, CMS) and then Pachakutik to serve as an alternative to the traditional cluster of political parties that had ruled Ecuadorian politics. However, the party is not formally affiliated with CONAIE.
