#ImpunidadRC is an opposition hashtag used against Rafael Correa’s Revolución Ciudadana (RC) movement. It is mainly deployed to accuse them of protecting alleged corrupt figures, misusing public resources in the National Assembly to shield allies, and attacking victims or whistleblowers instead of seeking justice.Current Context (June 2026)The hashtag has surged again today with dozens of coordinated posts targeting
@papachecov (Patricio “Pato” Pacheco), a figure linked to the RC bloc in the Assembly. Critics describe him as an operator or advisor who allegedly:

- Uses public funds to defend RC’s positions.
- Attacks victims and whistleblowers in sensitive cases.
- Participates in a “fraudulent strategy” to silence criticism.
Posts promoting the hashtag often highlight Assembly members such as
@etorrescobo (Esteban Torres Cobo, First Vice President) and
@mishelmanchenok (Mishel Mancheno, President of the Assembly) as the ones exposing these alleged abuses.Broader Picture
- RC’s perspective: They frame the attacks as political persecution (“lawfare”). They point to the recent temporary suspension of their party over money-laundering cases (March 2026) and claim the government of Daniel Noboa is weaponizing the justice and electoral systems to weaken them ahead of elections. Correa and RC frequently call the current administration a “narco-dictatorship” and argue that the accusations are fabricated.
- Ecuador is in the middle of an intense political and communications war:
- RC has a documented history of corruption convictions (Sobornos case, etc.) but maintains these are politically motivated.
- The Noboa government faces serious accusations regarding security, disappearances, questionable pacts, and possible impunity in other matters.
- The National Assembly has become a permanent battlefield.
The hashtag reflects a strong anti-Correísta narrative on social media, with repetitive messages labeling RC members and allies as “corrupt,” “traitors,” and “cynics.” Like most polarized hashtags, it mixes verifiable facts, legislative denunciations, and a large amount of coordinated trolling and attacks.Impunity is indeed a real and deep problem in Ecuador, but it is often used selectively depending on which side is speaking. If you want details on a specific case against
@papachecov, Assembly videos, or RC’s counter-arguments, just provide more context and I’ll analyze it further. What exactly interests you?
