MEXICO: PRD and PAN to seal ‘Stop the PRI’ alliances
Mexico’s two main opposition parties at a federal level will next year renew the electoral alliance that helped defeat the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) in three key states in 2010. During an extraordinary national congress at the weekend the left-wing opposition Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) voted to empower the party leadership to use its discretion to forge an alliance with the right-wing Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) in states where it could “stop the PRI”. The difference is that in 2010 this was more or less an alliance of equals; now, with the emergence of Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena), the PRD is definitely the junior partner - and has more to lose.
