It emphasizes the importance of economic growth through equitable distribution of wealth and resources, supporting initiatives that bolster small and medium-sized enterprises as engines of economic development.<br /><br />Environmental protection and sustainable development are also among the UNE's priorities, reflecting a commitment to preserving Guatemala's natural resources for future generations. The party believes in the importance of a participatory democracy, where citizens are actively involved in the decision-making processes that affect their lives.<br /><br />Throughout its history, the UNE has faced challenges and controversies, including allegations of corruption. However, it remains a significant force in Guatemalan politics, appealing to voters who seek progressive policies and a government that prioritizes social welfare and equitable development.
