National Reconstruction Front (Ecuador)

The National Reconstruction Front (Frente de Reconstrucción Nacional, FRN) was a political coalition in Ecuador that existed primarily in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was formed as a broad alliance of center-right and right-wing political parties and movements. The FRN aimed to present a united front in national elections, typically focusing on conservative economic policies and a strong stance on law and order.

The coalition's composition varied over time, incorporating parties such as the Social Christian Party (PSC) and other smaller conservative groups. Its electoral performance fluctuated, experiencing periods of relative success and decline depending on the prevailing political climate and the strength of competing political forces. While the FRN played a role in Ecuadorian politics during its existence, it eventually dissolved as constituent parties pursued their own individual strategies or formed new alliances. Its impact is mainly remembered within the context of the complex political landscape of Ecuador during the transition from military rule to a more stable democratic system.
