is a left-wing political party in Guatemala whose most notable member is Rigoberta Menchú, an ethnic K'iche'. Its roots are in the indigenous communities of Guatemala.
==Ideology== In a working paper of a seminar organised by FLACSO Guatemala and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation written in 2007, it was concluded that Winaq had an ambiguous ideology, trying to combine adversarial interests. Later, after committing to an alliance with other left-wing parties, the party developed a more pronounced left-wing perspective with eco-socialist leanings. The party is known for its political activism to prohibit infrastructure projects that threaten natural goods, especially rivers and water quality.
