Abstract

The present investigation refers to the hyper-leadership of Rafael Correa and his incidence in the 2021 electoral elections, since Correa Delgado has been one of the Ecuadorian presidents who has managed to maintain three uninterrupted periods during his government, as well as, he came to possess more 70% national acceptance. It is developed under the approach of symbolic interactionism that serves to elaborate an analysis of individual behavior in its relationship with the context where it acts, thus creating a reality, such behaviors have a strong predominance of the communicational act and cultural representations that deeply influence groups. Ecuador has been characterized throughout its history for being a politically unstable country, in addition, at the end of 1999 it was going through one of the most important economic crises, creating the conditions for the manifestation of a charismatic leadership that attacks the traditional political class, business chambers, the banking system and the written and televised press, this was the result of the appearance of Rafael Correa Delgado. The correísmo in the last electoral elections that he had to face maintained his message against the banks, the business chambers, the media reminding Ecuadorians of the negative aspects of the Rafael Correa government, this being a factor that influenced the rejection of the electorate, which constituted the first defeat of correísmo in a presidential election.
