• "The Republic can only be saved by thinking big, shaking off the trivial, and looking to the future."
    José Ortega y Gasset
  • "When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistracy, there can be no liberty; because apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner."
    Montesquieu
  • “For evil to triumph, it only needs good men to do nothing.”
    Edmund Burke

The Movement represents an intermediate institution between citizens and public power; it creates a counterweight and reviews the use of institutional power. In the process, it provides a platform for participation for citizens who seek constant and coherent proposals in line with the principles of classical republicanism.

We build with inexhaustible constancy.
We are citizens who build the institutions of the republic with inexhaustible perseverance and believe that a Democratic Republic is the best form of government to protect the rights and freedoms of all Guatemalans.
