Opposition fails to forge ‘Stop the PRI’ alliance
Mexico’s main opposition parties will not stand together against the federally ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) in the gubernatorial elections in the Estado de México (Edomex) or Coahuila this June. Ever since the right-wing opposition Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) and the left-wing opposition Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) forged three key alliances to inflict stinging defeats on the PRI in last June’s gubernatorial elections, a reprise of this strategy was advocated by senior members of both the PAN and the PRD. But no such alliance came to fruition. Both parties downplayed the significance of the failed talks, but behind this front there is a concern that they might have missed a trick with the PRI looking more vulnerable than ever before.
