| description | This paper explores five autocracy aspects in the Ecuadorian Head of the Executive (2017-2022): military power, complying with freedom of assembly, the strength of civil society, confidence in the president, and links with the media. From a methodology point of view and information found in the Varieties of Democracy and Latinobarómetro databases, this study explores the type 2 congruence procedure proposed by Van Evera and the historical trajectory of state power since 1963. The results show that the autocracy works independently of the ideology of the government in office and that the military power no longer holds a custodial role of democracy but instead the economic and media elites who shaped the national power. Even though the social protests in October 2019 and June 2022 reflect that the indigenous movement's organization, structures, and allies react to these political scenarios, repression of civil society is and remains an indicator of autocracy in the country. |

Esta contribución explora cinco aspectos de la autocracia, enfocados en el jefe del Poder Ejecutivo del Gobierno ecuatoriano: poder militar, respeto a la libertad de reunión pacífica, robustez de la sociedad civil, confianza en el presidente y vínculos con los medios de comunicación entre 2017 y 2022. Desde la metodología, este estudio explora el procedimiento de congruencia tipo 2, propuesto por Van Evera, a la trayectoria histórica del poder estatal desde 1963 y la información alojada en las bases de datos Varieties of Democracy y Latinobarómetro. Los resultados evidencian que la autocracia funciona de manera independiente a la ideología del Gobierno de turno y que el rol tutelar de la democracia ya no recae en el poder militar, sino en las élites económicas y mediáticas que configuraron el poder nacional. Pese a que las protestas sociales de octubre de 2019 y junio de 2022 reflejan que la organización, estructuras y aliados del movimiento indígena son reactivos a estos escenarios políticos, la represión a la sociedad civil es y sigue siendo un indicador de autocracia en el país.
