National Action Party (PAN)

The National Action Party (PAN) is a political party in Mexico, founded in 1939. It was established to promote democracy, free-market policies, and social conservatism. PAN traditionally represents business interests and has been a key player in Mexican politics, especially in opposition to the long-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). The party gained significant power when Vicente Fox won the presidency in 2000, marking a shift in Mexico’s political landscape. PAN aims to foster economic growth and fight corruption while advocating for individual freedoms and stronger law enforcement.
