Political views
Moreira is a member of Ecuador’s Social Christian Party and has a libertarian political ideology. In his political career, he has promoted ideas of free market policies and entrepreneurship.
In 2008, he was accused of promoting destabilizing activities against the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa. On behalf of the nongovernmental organization CIT Ecuador, Moreira called the accusations "unfounded".
That same year, Moreira organized a rally in support of political freedom called "Youth for a free democracy" in Manta during the visit of former Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez to Ecuador. The event was censored by Chavez and Ecuadorian government officials, and a government-mandated media blackout was in effect.
He was eventually forced to leave Ecuador, and now works as a political activist from his residence in Brooklyn, New York. He has since been invited to speak in Spain, Colombia, Chile, and Peru on the subject of economics and entrepreneurship.
