MEXICO: Opposition parties weigh up future
Mexico’s elections on 2 June, which saw emphatic victories for the ruling left-wing Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) at the federal, state, and local levels, has given opposition parties much to consider. The three parties making up the main Fuerza y Corazón por México opposition coalition - the centrist Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), right-wing Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), and left-wing Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) – are each facing existential crises, and the continuation of the alliance in its current form appears highly unlikely, not least given the PRD may lose its registration as a national party due to its poor performance. Meanwhile, the small leftist opposition Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) is eyeing the chance to become the main opposition force.
