Ethics and Democracy Network

The Ethics and Democracy Network (Spanish [Red Ética y Democracia], RED) is a political party in Ecuador. For the October 2006 elections, it has entered into an alliance with the Party of the Democratic Left, to support the ticket formed by former Vice-President León Roldós, and Ramiro González, former Prefect of the Province of Pichincha. The alliance won 13 seats in Congress again, while its presidential ticket came in fourth place.

During the 2010 Ecuador coup d'état attempt, American-Venezuelan lawyer Eva Golinger accused the Ethics and Democracy Network of having accepted funding from USAID and NED, and playing a role as part of a United States plan to destabilise Latin American democracies in the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA), along with Pachakutik, the Christian Democratic Union and other political parties and groups.[1][2] Golinger referred to a National Democratic Institute (NDI, one of the four institutes funded by NED) report from 2007 describing the Ethics and Democracy Network being trained by the NDI in "Triangle of Party Best Practices and strategic planning methodologies" as part of NDI's Latin American/Caribbean Political Party Network of over 1400 individual members, funded under NED Core Grants 2000-031, 2001-048, 2003-028, and 2004-036.[3]
