Lapel pin of the ARNE Ecuadorian Nationalist Revolutionary Action. 1950s.
Ecuadorian Nationalist Revolutionary Action (ARNE) was a far-right political party with a national-syndicalist orientation, closely tied to the Falangism of Francoist Spain and Mexican Sinarquism, and associated with the fascist parties that emerged in Europe after World War II.
Jorge Luna Yépes founded the ARNE party, inspired by European fascist parties of the first half of the 20th century, particularly Spanish Falangism under Francisco Franco. The party described itself as «nationalist, anti-communist, and anti-capitalist.»
During its existence, it had significant political participation, both in the legislature and the executive, being part of the governments of José María Velasco Ibarra during the Third Velasquismo and Camilo Ponce Enríquez. Its influence gradually declined until it disappeared in 1979 after failing to secure any seats in the 1979 Ecuadorian Legislative Elections.
