The agreement signed between Pachakutik and the Citizen Revolution on March 30 in Chimborazo didn't manage to consolidate as a legislative alliance. Legislators from the indigenous movement clarified that the pact is limited to national programmatic issues and doesn't imply joining the correísta bloc in the National Assembly.
The reelected legislator Mariana Yumbay stated that Pachakutik's intention is to work with all benches, not just with RC or ADN. This stance reinforces the idea that the indigenous bloc maintains its autonomy, at least formally, despite the declared support for Luisa González's presidential candidacy.
The indigenous movement is going through a moment of political ambiguity that complicates the projection of a clear majority in the new Parliament. Although the Citizen Revolution obtained 67 seats and ADN 66, neither reaches the 77 votes necessary for an absolute majority.
In this scenario, Pachakutik's nine assembly members have become key pieces. However, the lack of ideological cohesion and the dispersion of criteria make that support far from assured. According to leader Apawki Castro, the bloc isn't "neatly" consolidated and some members have even talked with ADN representatives.
