description The increase in the use of digital platforms and social networks by various actors in the public sphere has become one of the most significant areas of study in Communication studies in recent decades. Its utilization during political crises underscores the importance of strategic communication for political actors, as it transforms into crisis communication. In this work, we conduct an analysis of the digital strategic communication employed by the former president of Ecuador, Guillermo Lasso, during the political crisis caused by the impeachment trial against him in May 2023 and his subsequent call for early elections. To achieve this, we perform a critical analysis of the discourse presented in the tweets by the former president between May and July 2023. The results reveal a shift in his digital communication strategy and his relationships with other political actors following the announcement of early elections.

El incremento en el uso de las plataformas digitales y las redes sociales por parte de diferentes actores de la esfera pública se ha convertido en una de las líneas de estudio con más aportes en las últimas décadas en los estudios de la Comunicación. Su uso en momentos de crisis política revela la importancia de la comunicación estratégica de los actores políticos, puesto que la convierte en comunicación de crisis. En este trabajo analizamos la comunicación estratégica digital del expresidente de Ecuador, Guillermo Lasso, en la crisis política provocada por el juicio político en su contra (mayo 2023) y la convocatoria a elecciones anticipadas. Para ello, presentamos un análisis crítico del discurso de los tuits emitidos por el expresidente entre mayo y julio de 2023. Los resultados dan cuenta de un giro en su estrategia comunicacional digital y en su relación con el resto de actores políticos tras el anticipo electoral.
