| description | This article compares the protests that arose in response to constitutional reforms seeking to enable indefinite reelection in Bolivia and Ecuador during the administrations of Evo Morales and Rafael Correa, respectively. Using a qualitative-comparative approach and analyzing more than 450 events published in the digital press, the article identifies and classifies the repertoires of collective action deployed by opposition actors in these countries. Based on Charles Tilly’s concepts of repertoires and contentious performances and the contributions of Donatella della Porta and Pablo Stefanoni, the text examines how forms of protest – from marches, town hall meetings, and blockades to media campaigns and constitutional litigation – articulated discourses of democratic defense and reconfigured the political field in Bolivia and Ecuador. It concludes that these repertoires not only expressed resistance to continuity but also functioned as mechanisms of ideological and social reorganization that enabled the emergence of new right-wing movements legitimized by citizenship and the defense of voting rights and democracy. |

A partir de un enfoque cualitativo-comparativo y del análisis de más de 450 eventos publicados en la prensa digital, se identifican y clasifican los repertorios de acción colectiva desplegados por los actores opositores de estas naciones. Basado en los conceptos de repertorios y performances contenciosas de Charles Tilly y en los aportes de Donatella della Porta y Pablo Stefanoni, en el texto se examina cómo las formas de protesta –desde marchas, cabildos y bloqueos hasta campañas mediáticas y litigios constitucionales– articularon discursos de defensa democrática y reconfiguraron el campo político en Bolivia y Ecuador. Se concluye que estos repertorios no solo expresaron resistencia al continuismo, sino que también funcionaron como mecanismos de reorganización ideológica y social que posibilitaron la emergencia de nuevas derechas legitimadas mediante la ciudadanía y la defensa del voto y de la democracia.Este artigo compara as mobilizações desencadeadas pelas reformas constitucionais que buscavam habilitar a reeleição indefinida na Bolívia e no Equador durante os governos de Evo Morales e Rafael Correa, respectivamente. A partir de um enfoque qualitativo-comparativo e da análise de mais de 450 eventos publicados na imprensa digital, identificam-se e classificam-se os repertórios de ação coletiva empregados pelos atores opositores nesses países. Com base nos conceitos de repertórios e performances contenciosas de Charles Tilly, assim como nos aportes de Donatella della Porta e Pablo Stefanoni, examina-se como as formas de protesto —de marchas, cabildos e bloqueios a campanhas midiáticas e litígios constitucionais— articularam discursos de defesa democrática e reconfiguraram o campo político na Bolívia e no Equador. Conclui-se que esses repertórios não apenas expressaram resistência ao continuísmo, mas também funcionaram como mecanismos de reorganização ideológica e social que possibilitaram a emergência de novas direitas legitimadas por meio da cidadania e da defesa do voto e da democracia.Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, Sede Ecuador2026-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://iconos.flacsoandes.edu.ec/index.php/iconos/article/view/678510.17141/iconos.84.2026.6785Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; Núm. 84 (2026): Movimientos sociales y democracia en América Latina; 59-79Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; n. 84 (2026): Movimentos sociais e democracia na América Latina; 59-79Íconos.
